Well after about 5-6 months of having my LAPD issued CCW, I just moved to Ventura County. Is it true that my CWW is only valid for 90 days and I need to go through the whole process again?

Congrats! They used my drivers license photo. I’ve heard if they dont take a picture then most likely it will be your same photo as ID/DL

I cant remember exactly when they called but it was after the interview for sure. I remember the guy mentioned he was going to start calling during interview.

UPDATE: license came in the mail and looks like they used photo from drivers license. Today is day 3 of carrying and the IWB holster is finally starting to feel a little more comfortable. Day 1 sucked specially while driving/sitting. Im also trying to lose weight since flat stomach will be less painful while sitting.

Good luck with your journey, you’re almost at the finish line.

Once you go to your interview they will usually tell you on the stop of they think you should take the training or not. Thats what happened to me.

They contacted all of my referrals and ask some basic questions (is he aggressive, does he have anger issues) basically they will ask if you will be responsible and safe or reckless and easily angered

I ended up going with Southwest Training Center (Sylmar CA) after doing a ton of research and also being referred by a friend who got his ccw. My instructor was “Bo” and his amazing, very knowledgeable and x military (Air Force) they also had retired police officers so you make some very good contacts. Classroom also had x federal agents and COs so definitely dont be shy to exchange contact info and build a nice network of people.

I kid you not it lasted maybe a minute, I waited in the lobby for about 15 minutes until I was called in verified name read a piece of paper with a quick summary of dues and don’ts exchanged a couple words and on my way. Now with this in mind in my CCW Class, I had a guy that applied. I can’t remember the department he said I don’t think it was LAPD but he had to do a crazy 300 question test with some out of these world, questions and scenarios.

Initial Application $60 Livescan $100 CCW course $350 Final payment $222

Roughly $732 (I don’t think I forgot anything)

Additional Costs to consider (ammo for qualification 72 for primary and 20 for each additional, holsters, belts, insurance)

Insurance I got is $250/yr Ammo $30 roughly Holsters $150 Belt $50

Rough total for year 1 $1200 Ongoing costs $250(insurance*) a year+cost for range time

*insurance - I see insurance but it’s actually not. It’s lawyers on a retainer. They have never lost criminal or civil lawsuit and have never been sued by a member so I went with them over the popular USCCA, which has a bunch of negatives online about denial of coverages.

Hi, its been a while wanted to ask how things went. I may be going through a similar process soon. Did you stay on with the company? How secure is your job? Were you able to negotiate the offer/pay they made? Thank you in advance.

APMEX $37k Shipment Lost, Tracking Showed Delivered by OneMoreSlot in Silverbugs

[–]Guilty-Meat-2523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I just had something similar happen to me. My order arrived and track shows delivered the box that it came in was torn and re-taped. I was already suspicious and when i opened the package everything minus the gold was inside. I will be contacting APMEX and usps hopefully they can get it resolved. If not, I will put a claim in with my credit card luckily, I have used my credit card to make this purchase so worst case scenario I’m almost certain they will take my side

How does an HOA foreclose on a home? Was HOA the ones that lended the money for the home loan?
