no I try not to be a criminal in my daily lifei don’t have any firearm restrictions i already spoke with my attorney, im assuming most of you have never dealt with any of this type of legal stuff and are just talking
Brother, do or don’t. Stop posting about it. When you get your CCW let us know, when you get denied let us know. We aren’t the issuing body. you’re pissing in the wind and saying it’s raining. Go do it.SB2 replaced good moral character with a disqualified persons framework

I can 99% guarantee they will not allow you to carry while on probation whatsoever. If you lie and you get through the process, you’ll eventually be caught once renewal comes up and then be permanently disqualified at least with said IA. You’d have to move counties for another IA to give you another chance.It feels like a stupid question but legally speaking I don’t see why I can’t…
I applied for an Alameda County CCW back in May and in August I was arrested then took a deal shortly after for a misdemeanor identity theft (PC530.5a). I was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation with no firearm restrictions. After researching up to date California law I can’t find anything that says I am disqualified by being on Probation for my specific charge as it is not a drug/alcohol or violent/gun related crime… They recently reached out for fingerprints should I continue with my application and just be honest or withdrawal for my refund and wait out the year?
( THIS WAS MY FIRST AND ONLY ARREST )
If you think I should withdrawal if you can reference a specific code or law that’s up to date i’d really appreciate it!
I seen 26202 does mention being on any active court order but it’s referring to specific types of stay aways and restraining orders etc which don’t apply to my situation… Is there any one that has ever had a ccw while on any type of probation?
ok thanksI can 99% guarantee they will not allow you to carry while on probation whatsoever.

Why you committing crimes when trying to carry a gun is the bigger question
One of the questions is “have you been denied a ccw in the past”. Some verbiage like that. If you want to know the exact verbiage I suggest you do your own homework.

I don’t know the terms of his probation but I would think that lying to the police would be boilerplate violation of his probation.I can 99% guarantee they will not allow you to carry while on probation whatsoever.

Maybe felony probation or violent crimes.. not for simple misdemeanorI work in this industry and I would advise you most general probation terms, regardless of the nature of the conviction, include a “do not possess a deadly weapon” condition.
On a summary (unsupervised/misdemeanor) probation case the public defender who represented you (or whoever your counsel was) should still be able to get you a copy of your conditions. If that doesn’t work out the district attorney’s office of the county having jurisdiction over your case should be able to provide them to you as well.
Agree. Back when I handled misdemeanors, I never agreed to drug and/or weapons conditions as probation terms, unless there was a logical connected to the charge.Maybe felony probation or violent crimes.. not for simple misdemeanor
On what basis could I be declined though? Maybe I don’t understand the process correctly but I thought pretty much if i’m not disqualified they can’t decline me just because of the charge itself with the new laws and everything?
On paper, yes. In practice, no.SB2 replaced good moral character with a disqualified persons framework
good to know, i figured they actually played by the book but makes sense if they just tell me fk off for some genericOn paper, yes. In practice, no.
Law abiding citizen. They look at everything from Traffic citations, to any other different charges or convictions. No disrespect... but in the law's eyes you're not a law abiding citizen and can be seen as a liability. I would call and ask to talk to your background investigator.Good luck!On what basis could I be declined though?

When the Supreme Court wrote the Bruen decision, they said the Second Amendment protects the right of an ordinary, "law-abiding, responsible citizen" to carry a handgun for self-defense.good to know, i figured they actually played by the book but makes sense if they just tell me fk off for some genericand i’m sure appealing that is a waste of my time too
