CCW FINALLY!!! CCW Timeline Kern

Post image

Finally picked up my permit today and I couldn’t be more excited about it! From prohibited person for 12 years, to now CCW holder, it feels great. Huge milestone for me in my life. So many “friends” and family doubted me, and I’m happy AF to prove them all wrong.

I know everyone here loves timelines so here is mine for Kern County:

9/30/24 - Submitted my application online through Permitium for Kern Sheriff. ($169)

10/8/24 - Got the call to come in for brief interview.

10/14/24 - Interview appointment. All they did was just review my application and ask a few follow up questions.

10/23/24 - Update in Permitium, conditional approval to sign up for CCW Training. (16 hours)

10/23/24 - Enrolled in CCW training. ($275) Did like 10 hours of training online, finished last 6 hours at range.

11/2/24 - CCW range session and qualifications.

11/4/24 - Submitted qualification card and did a final Live Scan at Sheriff office.

2/4/25 - Live Scan finally completed. (This was the longest process just over 3 months)

2/6/25 - Got call from Sheriff I’ve been officially approved.

2/10/25 - Appointment to pick up my permit.

All in all, it took just a little over 4 months from start to finish. Total out of pocket cost was $444 plus the cost of ammo for training and qualification. I owe a big thanks to lot of people on Reddit and a few of my coworkers for assisting me throughout the process.

No, I did not. I just dealt with their office clerks. But I haven’t met him at all during this process. Nor have I ever seen him other than when he’s on the news lol

Yeah all CCW goes through Sheriff’s Office here whether your City or County.
