Frequently Asked Questions

 

 


Can a CCW licensee carry an approved firearm with more than ten rounds in the magazine if that high capacity magazine is legal?

The CCW license does not define magazine capacity, just the firearm. If the magazine and firearm are legal to possess in the state of California, and the firearm is listed on the license, a CCW permit holder may carry. (Note: California firearms laws are subject to change. It is the responsibility of the CCW permit holder to ensure the firearm & magazine are in compliance with California law at the time of carry.)


Are CCW license holders required to immediately notify a peace officer upon contact?

Not at this time, however, it is highly recommended that you do so for the safety of all parties.

 

Are San Diego CCW licenses limited to 3 firearms?

No, there is no limit to the number of firearms you can list on your CCW.  However, you must qualify with each firearm with one of our approved vendors before the firearm can be listed on the CCW. 

Only 5 firearms will fit on the official BOF-4501 card.  If you are listing more than 5 firearms, we will need to print an additional card and you must carry both cards.  If you qualify with more firearms than will fit the 2nd card, we must print a 3rd card and you must carry it as well, etc.

  • When can I take my firearms course?

    The Sheriff's Office cannot require you to take your safety course prior to your application being approved. You may contact one of the approved vendors once your initial fee & fingerprints have been submitted; however the final weapons qualification and your CCW Qualification Certificate must be within 6 months of your written approval date.
