I'm probably skewing towards the pessimistic side, to be fair. But from everything I'm seeing out there in terms of timelines others are willing to share, most aren't being contacted for the initial phone interview for at least 8-10 months from app submission. The first available in-person appointment time available to schedule was late July 2025. I'm just approaching it as a 2 year process. If I can get it wrapped up before then, bonus.21-28 months?!
Please tell me you're joking
Unfortunately they’re not far off. I applied June 2022 and picked up mid-March 2024….614 days after mailing my application. I applied just a day after the SCOTUS ruling and can only assume the backlog grew at an insane rate from that point on.21-28 months?!

That was my calculation -- applied just last week on 4/4. I'll update along the way.Definitely apply sooner than later. With the waits, you’ll have plenty of time to become proficient

This is good to know, thank youMy interview number showed up as a "Private Number".
Based on the CalGuns thread, seems as though they leave voice mails if you miss a call.
Congratulations on getting your FFL03 + COE. There is nothing better than shopping for ammo online and getting it shipped to your home. My UPS guy probably hates me because of the shipments!!!!These insights and the information you all are sharing is valuable - much appreciated, thank you. I'm still quite new to all of this (firearms and the 2A community, in general). I went the FFL03 + COE route right as I was getting started after seeing all the positive feedback on Reddit - it was a good learning experience and the ammo benefits are nice from the get-go. Pursuing a CCW felt like the next logical step, and at least I can use the long lead time to my advantage by working to become more proficient and knowledgable. Silver linings, and all that stuff.
