​

Please remember the California CCW permit is specific to the exact gun(s) you wish to carry.  The Make, Model, Caliber and Serial Number of each gun will be listed on your permit.  These are the only guns you are allowed to carry.  Additionally, the gun(s) must be registered in your name with the State of California prior to applying and putting them on your application. 

​

** Contra Costa Sheriff's Office (CCSO) Advisory:  Although, this 8 hr. class meets the requirement for the 8 hrs. of CCW safety training, you will still have to qualify with all guns you want on the permit at the CCSO range, using a holster and the course of fire is timed.   If you are a new shooter and/or have not been professionally trained in the presentation of the holstered handgun, we strongly recommend that you enroll in our 16 hr. class instead.  Our 16 hr. class has a full day of range training, all from the holster, and we practice the CCSO qualification.   

​

*** Special Note for Solano and San Mateo applicants:  You must receive approval prior to taking the training class.  Please use the handy blue hyperlinks above to be automatically directed to the Sheriff's website.

​

• Valid California DMV issued driver's license or ID

​

The State of California requires that the guns you list on your permit be registered to you with the State.
