Everything with California CCWs Changes on January 1st
Joel Persinger, Chief Instructor at Practical Defense Systems, explains the significant changes to California's Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit training requirements under SB2, effective January 1, 2024. The primary change involves an increase in required training hours for both initial permits and renewals. Crucially, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department will honor previous hour requirements if an application was submitted before the effective date, with instructors verifying this through the Peridium system. This information is specific to San Diego County residents, and other counties may have different implementations.
