CCWs in San Diego??

Throw out everything you think you know about CCWs and San Diego. We are receiving feedback that SDCGO’s efforts to highlight Gore’s block of your right to bear arms is working. His internal standards have been loosened and the amount of paperwork required has been lessened. We think.

So what does this mean? Well, we aren’t sure because Sheriff Gore’s policy is poorly written, subjective, and purposely vague.

We are asking you to help us figure it out and maybe get your CCW in the process.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Read his website, download the application, complete as much as you can. Link: https://www.sdsheriff.net/licensing/ccw.html

Step 2: Call and make an appointment for an interview. Number: 858-974-2020

Step 3: Make a list of reasons you need a CCW. Be creative. This part is hard to advise or offer specifics. And this is really where you are helping. Is Gore just making election year noise? Or can the average law-abiding San Diegan obtain a CCW? It is probably somewhere in the middle and we don’t know how long it will last (the election is in June), so right now is your chance!

Step 4: Dress nicely, be polite, and go to your 1st appointment. After you get your CCW, or are denied, please send us an email to let us know if you were successful. What was your “good cause” statement and did it work? How was your experience with the staff? Were the staffers helpful or discouraging?

We hear from people all the time wanting to get their CCWs, so jump on this possible opportunity as fast as you can. The appointment slots are going to fill up so hurry up and call to make your appointment.

Show Your SDCGO Pride!

Our biggest asset is word of mouth! Showing your SDCGO pride by wearing your polo or hat will help spread our message and show your support.
