CCW Interview Questions for Fresno County

[@jerrylopez1217]

The process in Orange County is lot easier and fast. Had my interview on a Monday, then on Tuesday the next day was approve by the sheriff's paid on Wednesday got my license by Friday.

[@YT4Me]

Nice....very lucky...at least in our counties we have the privilege of getting a ccw...good luck in LA county or God forbid San Francisco....

[@_Bandido1911]

Did you have to take any training classes ?

[@Bukumusicpage]

Can u please help me on my process? 🙏🏾

[@BenG7579]

Hi Jerry is great news on your end congrats!! I have mine on November in Orange county can you tell us what to expect on interview day? I believe I'm doing over the phone not sure if it will be in person at least that what the email said on appointment.

[@anthonyg9482]

Hey brotha. Can we connect? I’d love to hear/learn more about the interview process. My interview is next month. Any support is appreciated.

[@elizabethgreen4883]

Great video! Calmed a lot of my nerves I had no idea what to expect, I as well took the CCW training at the same institution and the instructors were so good and helpful still! Based out of madera so I’m hoping my interview is as smooth as yours, on my way now 🤞🏼

[@YT4Me]

Best of luck!

[@mynamejef7963]

How did it go!

[@williamham1644]

Awesome video .. simple and informative. Scheduled my class at the Police Institute and started the process. Sheriff Mims announced her retirement a couple of weeks ago for the end of the year so I figured now is the time to apply.

[@markg7116]

Word is, the next sheriff won’t have any problems with issuing ccw’s either.

[@lukevader5814]

Not that easy in L.A. county! The process is alot longer! But possible to get one

[@Punketeria1369]

Thanks, Im a recently new gun owner and tomorrow I'm getting my CCW card here in Philadelphia. As tomorrow im doing my interview, explains why I'm looking at all the videos related to the interview. I also talked to my 2 co-workers that have their CCW. I figure its best to over prepare, as opposed to having lower confidence. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge. It's wickid helpful 😎 chEErs, 93

[@YT4Me]

Nice...congrats! Idk how it is in Philadelphia, but I'm glad I was able to shed some light on the topic...thank you for watching!

[@FaithfulLion]

I have my appointment in march of 2024 & I’m stoked 🙏🏻

[@athena2zeus54]

How'd it go?

[@nikkisanchez7969]

Thanks for sharing man. Have my interview tomorrow 🍀

[@YT4Me]

No problem...thank you!

[@rene_from_so_cal]

Thanks for the video. I'm out in Fresno, and will be going through my CCW permit process in a few days.

[@YT4Me]

Congrats!

[@freddyvalencia1694]

How did it go? How was it now in 2022

[@bobbyisking]

Nice video. I will be signing up at the Firing Line soon for the class. They told me the waitlist for the interview is backed up til next spring around March or April.

[@YT4Me]

Yeah the pandemic has been a pain.

[@parkervncn]

Thanks for the info, I take my class at the range tomorrow

[@YT4Me]

Congrats!

[@jmstk]

I'm waiting for the Interview next Monday with the L.A.P.D . I can't wait ...

[@dlewis4184]

How was it. What was the process like

[@jmstk]

@@dlewis4184 They went over the Application line by line and had me sign it in front of them as witness .They asked about ANY arrests or Violations of the Law but did not want any References , Reason to ask for a Permit or anything about myself . They Did want three items like Utility Bills and such to prove I live at my Address and bring a copy of your Drivers Licence . Also bring a Money order for $53 . If you go to the LAPD Website you can get all of the Information and Download the Forms needed . Good luck.

[@oscarjustchilln1338]

I just got interviewed on the 3ed of this month, what you just said was completely accurate got a 1 and now I'm waiting for two emails from DOJ and another for my last payment.

[@YT4Me]

Good to hear sir...stay on top of it!

[@ericaquiroz3356]

Thank you for your post. My interview is in a few weeks.

[@YT4Me]

Congrats and good luck!

[@shane4956]

Thank you for posting this. Very helpful.

[@YT4Me]

No problem!

[@abefernandez6546]

My interview was me and the officers talking about cooking. Barely talked about the application. County is chill.

[@YT4Me]

Exactly! It was awesome!

[@tacric99]

Had my interview last Wednesday (09-15-21) was in there in and out within 5 min but did have to wait for about 15 long minutes it was just yes and no questions same questions you answered on the application online and he told me it was going to take up to 3 weeks to get DOJ to approve

[@brotherfreeman2223]

What county are you in I just got a date for my interview

[@SgtBooker44]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@wilkyexantus5984]

Thanks for the info

[@averyaugust]

Thank you for all the info, brother!

[@YT4Me]

Thank you for watching!

[@Flowerblitz]

Great video and info, I’m curious to as how long overall the whole process of getting a cww takes days, month ?

[@Flowerblitz]

And also how much did everything cost for the ccw

[@YT4Me]

So when you initially apply I think I paid 85 dollars to schedule an 8 hr class in your county...then once you do that...you go on the website and upload your 8hr certificate and necessary paper work...then pay another 123 dollars to have your fingerprinting done and schedule the interview. Then once you receive an email you application was approved, then you have to pay another 95 dollars for the licence to be sent to you. Basically a license fee. Not including all the ammo you have to purchase in order to pass the 8hr class...just 50 rounds.

[@YT4Me]

Overall I say I applied for and attended class in april...scheduled interview in July...got license in late August in the mail...but it also depends on availability or classes...interview windows...and how fast DOJ processes your application...and how well you are as a candidate.

[@Silvertheta]

@@YT4Me What was your GC?

[@laughitoff3099]

Thanks brother 👍🏽

[@YT4Me]

Thank you for watching!

[@laughitoff3099]

Ya for sure Brother thanks for the info, blessings to you and your family.

[@laughitoff3099]

Hey do you have insurance for ccw?

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

Thank you!

[@get_it_done4580]

Bipolar, BPD here. Clean and steady since 2019. Lets go 2A!

[@josemiguelchaconavendano2488]

Puedo pedir la entrevista en español ?gracias

[@DisclosureTvNews]

I'm in Kentucky we don't have to do all that. Basically because people here for the most part have common sense.

[@rootedorganically4911]

With all the tweekers and street people/ homeless it’s needed more every day

[@michaellewis9046]

Hey just quick question what put down for a good cause?

[@YT4Me]

Don't remember if it asked that in my county...but just in case, I did add in there a reason was because I handle alot of cash in my day to day part time job. But in the interview questions I didn't get asked that at all....and sorry for the late reply.

[@INDICAFILMS411]

MMMBADAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[@JesusGonzalez-vt9sg]

Good stuff bro

[@YT4Me]

Appreciate it

[@jamessmith7509]

Thank you man thank you so much. I live in Fresno County I have my interview January 21st 2021. Can you update me how long was it to you actually received your license after the interview?

[@YT4Me]

After the interview it took me about 2-3 weeks after I went online and paid for it... remember you still have to go online and pay another fee before they send out your license. Once you pay that...then just wait a couple of weeks and you should get it. Along with the DOJ License... remember to carry both with you and congrats again!

[@abellopez8674]

How far out was your interview from the time you applied? I finally got around to formally submitting my application on September 17th 2020 but no interviews are available until March 2021

[@YT4Me]

Overall I say I applied for and attended class in april...scheduled interview in July...got license in late August in the mail...but it also depends on availability or classes...interview windows...and how fast DOJ processes your application...and how well you are as a candidate...but yeah the website to schedule an interview was very scarce on available dates...i would recommend to keep checking the website in order to make sure there isn't any reschedules...maybe you will get a sooner date too...good luck!

[@thechameleon77]

Shit. I live in SF. I am going to try anyways. Anyone in SF have any experience with trying to get one?

[@RJStockton]

Or we could just all carry concealed and skip the government acting like we owe it some explanations. Seriously though, glad it went well. It's actually a lot better in CA than it used to be.

[@YT4Me]

Yeah I agree....but Im still trying to stay within the confines of law ...even though it's all very inconvenient.

[@wilkyexantus5984]

Did you had to bring your gun? Ammo? For shooting test? Or was there shooting test?

[@YT4Me]

They have ammo provided...but not all places may. Ask the class instructor beforehand.

[@miai7027]

Im trying to to get my CCW but I’m kinda confused on the steps. Do u do the online application form on the sheriffs page first? Then schedule get an interview and 8 hours class?

[@YT4Me]

Correct.. application first...then you are notified of the interview and when to schedule it. You have to pay before you get interviewed. Then they match your answers to your application online.

[@gomez8105]

Just hade interview told them i tried Marijuana in high school will the get me denied?

[@YT4Me]

They asked me the same thing....still got it...they want to see your record is clean for the past 10 years

[@johnsoto7414]

Do you know of they check your DOT (department of translation) records? I'm asking because i have a failed drug test on record and the DOT is federal

[@YT4Me]

I know they check DOJ records....don't know if they cross reference DOT...but my advice is always be honest and transparent on any application. Then leave it up to the Sheriff if they accept it or not. Small amounts of MJ i don't think should affect the outcome. But each county is different.

[@AS-ve9nm]

What's the next step after you fill out an application online

[@YT4Me]

Pay a fee and wait for a scheduled interview

[@5596-d6e]

What If You Have Speeding Tickets Does It Make It Harder To Get Your CCW? Also If You Have Tattos Did You Feel Like They Judge You Off Of That ?

[@YT4Me]

I have Tattoos and a shaved head...i look very intimidating if you don't know me...but on the interview I had no issues. Didn't feel judged at all, but I also wore a long sleeve button up shirt. Speeding tickets won't affect your CCW. Those are considered moving violations, but they don't affect whether you qualify or not.

[@ryanbandera5236]

Now that sheriff Mims is retiring it makes me nervous about the next sheriff if their gonna be pro gun

[@markg7116]

The next sheriff will be pro 2A. I asked the ccw class instructor

[@farnamfargam1604]

Once you get your CCW, can you carry on any City in Ca, or only in Fresno?

[@YT4Me]

Any city in California, and states where they follow California guidelines.

[@byb-bangforyourbuck2353]

useful!

[@luiscruz2571]

Did you have to take any classes prior for a CCW?

[@YT4Me]

Yes, i took a class at The Range Pistol Club In Fresno.

[@richp1985]

Would you know if they look at your juvenile record or if a dui would disqualify you?

[@YT4Me]

They do run a DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BACKGROUND CHECK. Unfortunately a JUVENILE RECORD MAY BE FOUND. It also depends how long ago it was. Over 10 years for example may be overlooked. As for DUI that is also a moving violation but it has more serious consequences. It may not affect your chances for a CCW but it may delay it based on the questions on the application.

[@Nismo331]

Lived in California for 14 years I now live in Georgia where the second amendment means something. Constitutional carry state where I carry everyday, everywhere. No permit required

[@byb-bangforyourbuck2353]

any updates or lessons so far carrying concealed?

[@YT4Me]

None....so far i was honestly always worried of carrying my gun everywhere...but after about a year of Carrying....I've gotten so used to it...it's like i don't even think about it. I always try and make sure to keep it locked up if I know I'll be around family or kids....but other than that...i stay more vigilant thanks to the extra responsability we have carrying.

[@OldSchoolChicano1974]

I have a CCW interview set for February 2024 in Sacramento County. Do they ask to test you for drugs?

[@get_it_done4580]

Just submitted in Sutter County? Are the interview questions the same? Was in Yuba police academy and a few of my friends work in SSD

[@harrpp2220]

Is there any drug test?

[@YT4Me]

No there wasn't any.

[@Jacob2grant]

Did you say you smoked if yes when’s the last time?

[@vincemoney942]

When the last time you smoked pole

[@laughitoff3099]

What insurance company do you have for your ccw ?

[@YT4Me]

I had USCCA for about 4 months....after my Firearms Course I learned U.S. Lawshield was a better fit for me...with higher legal benefits than USCCA.

[@laughitoff3099]

Brother that’s so funny I got the same one cool, blessings to you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@laughitoff3099]

I didn’t finish reading your message when I text but I ya I noticed people changing but USCCA changed there coverage very recently but ya that’s cool my brother.

[@TONY69BALONY]

Did they take a picture for your license?

[@YT4Me]

Yes they did, so be prepared to dress to impress for the interview. Right after that, they took fingerprints and then took a picture for your ID.

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

I got mine in 90 days and the interview was over the phone but I'm not in Fresno County.

[@erazco6568]

Well excuse tfk out of us what paradise were you at when you had a phone interview

[@YT4Me]

Nice...yeah Fresno county is one of the few in California that the process is still available for us mortals, even though the pandemic has put a delay in everything. What county are you in?

[@kev2bkr]

That part where you said “ it didn’t show them you had speeding tickets” could’ve been a trick question. Something similar in my interview happened. Sheriff asked me if I recall being a witness to a homicide a few years back.. I said no. We stayed on that question for about 10 mins. I told him I feel like I would remember witnessing something like that. Then another question where I was a passenger in a car fleeing officers which eventually stopped. My answer ... what!?! I thought my interview was done for. When I told him no again. I was stressing lol

[@YT4Me]

Haha probably....but when I checked my driving record it wasn't on there either...so who knows.

[@GQ-xv8mf]

🙏

[@jsanz787]

Wow...I thought Connecticut was tough. Interview? Really?

[@brianbonilla4830]

Vote GOP!

[@yahhboydrew4284]

I had my interview 2 weeks ago how long til I find out if I got approved or not ?

[@yahhboydrew4284]

And will they send u a email if u got approved or not?

[@YT4Me]

You have to check the website constantly to see if it's been approved....i was sent a letter also....took about 3 weeks to find out.

[@markacevedo3725]

So basically I will need to apply 1st for a 8 hour training course and pass and 2nd apply at sheriff office.

[@angeloliva6603]

@Mark Acevedo Yes it’s a pretty long process especially now that they are pretty backed up processing several applications but once you take the classes they will explain every single step and if your from the Fresno area do go to that location in the video

[@YT4Me]

Yeah sorry for the late response...but yes pretty much...the 2nd application can be done online...not in person...but the fees due upfront too before they even schedule a interview with you.

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

Dis hispanic dude got a 1 in Fresno County?! You been cryogenically frozen for the past 30 years?! WTF?!

[@texasproud3332]

California ( Los Angeles) sucks there are a lot of pockets of good conservatives but LA and San Francisco is a pit
