CCW Santa Clara County CCW Thread

Not sure if this was mentioned in previous threads, but I did a CCW modification yesterday and found out there is now a 1 handed draw & shoot.

"Drawing from the holster and utilizing only the strong-side hand, the shooter will fire 5 rounds in 15 seconds."

Easy but just a heads up for anyone doing their proficiency qualification soon.

Yeah that caught me by surprise on my renewal. Not a big deal but had to step up lol
 
Where did that change come from? I did my renewal last month (different agency) and they has us fire using off hand only. Hadn't done that drill in 10 years of CCW.

The pdf was updated on January 5th this year.
 
Eash issuing agency sets its own qualifying shoot. The only CA-DOJ qualification is for instructors and does not require off-hand shooting.
 
Modification timeline:

Applied 6/9, approved 6/30. Appointment scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Most time slots are showing "full"
 
I wouldn’t worry. The lady who works there is very efficient and helpful. You can contact them if you start to get anxious
 
CCW Renewal SCC Timeline:
Uploaded all documents 8/3
Approved 8/10

Just need to wait for 24 hours for me to choose my date and time to pick up the new card

That doesn't seem accurate. Sac County doesn't require any off hand shots

For sure its not a DOJ requirement, nor was it the IA's. That leaves only the Instructor's in my mind, they could have misread something or added their own special sauce. ITRW training, not a bad thing to do though.
