CCW Timeline
Submitted application for San Diego and noticed first available appointment dates are a year out… Is this accurate or do they contact you to set an interview date?

I applied early July 23, for the last month I’ve been checking every day and managed to move it up twice, now it’s sitting at Feb 24. Still a ridiculous wait, but I’m chipping away. I’m hoping the increased fees go towards hiring more processors and they start doing appointments on days other than Monday so they can reduce the logjam.

Good to hear, hopefully you can bump it up a couple more times. Good luck!

I applied March 31, first available was April 2024. I checked everyday, multiple times and moved it a few times until I got to May 8th, did my interview and just got my approval a few days ago (93 days background) my ccw class is Aug 26. So I figure I’ll be all done in a little less than a months time.
If you’re planning on getting a ccw, stop thinking about it and just do it, the longer you wait, the longer it takes. Just be extra vigilant, fight for yourself, it sucks that you need to jump thru all these hoops, at least it’s not as bad as other counties.

That’s accurate. You can set your appointment and check everyday to see if someone has canceled. If your lucky you can get an earlier appointment.
Good info, thanks!
