First off I dont think the entire process should cost $1600+
(My entire process was actually way more because I got denied twice and hired a lawyer)
2nd it should be 100% the same for every county in the state.
My qualification, like we talked about before, is literally the hardest in the entire state. I still scored a 94 with my HD3.6 (only 1 hour of shooting before ccw class) and a 96 with my fuse length P365.
I think if the gun is legal to own, you should be able to carry it (off roster included)
Yes to comps and dots, triggers can be questionable.
As far as the actual test, I dont think it should go out past 15 yards. But you better hit a score of 90
My test includes 25 yard shots both standing and kneeling and on a timer.
If I shot someone at 25 yards, California would prosecute me, at 25 yards, the target is not a threat. You can retreat.
I dont think Emergency reload or tactical reload should be on the test. (Both on mine)
I dont think strong side only and support side only should be on the test (both on mine)
I think you should be required to put in 1 hour a month with your CCW gun, at an approved location, and it gets tucked in an efile or something.
I watched people who cant shoot for

barely pass their ccw renewal, and admit they hadnt been to the range since the last ccw qual.
If you cant shoot for

, i dont need you shooting anywhere near me in public.
My wife and I both shoot 1500-2000 rounds EACH per month, granted its not all with our CCW guns, but We do shoot our CCW guns every 1-2 weeks as well. You want to carry, better be good with it.
I know long read, thats why I waited to post this, lol.
One more thing, it shouldnt take a year to get your CCW either
Feel free to criticize my thoughts, im open for discussion.
