Friends,
Our office in Tehachapi California will be conducting an additional class on Saturday December 30, 2023. If your permit expires within 60 days after that date or are a new applicant that has been given the green light form KCSO to get trained, you can take the class, qualify, and renew under the current requirements and pricing. Please email tehachapiimmtt@gmail.com to sign up for that class.
On September 26, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into effect Senate Bill No. 2 that likely goes into effect on January 1, 2024.
This bill requires CCW courses of training be at least 16 hours for new CCW applicants and 8 hours for renewals.
Senate Bill No. 2 also requires the CCW course of training to include instruction on firearm handling, shooting technique, and to include a demonstration, by the applicant, of shooting proficiency and safe handling of each firearm the applicant will be licensed to carry.
The course must include firearm safety, safe storage, legal methods to transport fi****ms and securing fi****ms in vehicles, laws governing where permit holders may carry fi****ms, laws regarding the permissible use of a firearm, mental health/mental health resources and laws regarding the permissible use of lethal force in self-defense.
Course prices will double and we are now working to comply with all state requirements. If you are coming up on renewal and within the window get re-certified now before this course goes up in price!
