I live in California and have recently applied for a CCP. As part of the application I have to state why I would like to have a CCP. Twice now the Sargent has called me and told me to write a different reason. The reason that I want to feel safe and want the ability should it become necessary to protect my family or loved ones is not good enough. We go camping in areas where there can be cougars and bears and I might have to protect our kids or pet.
I mentioned times are different today than just 10 years ago. We have treats of natural disasters that can leave us in situations where we have to take care of ourselves and loved ones.
Can anyone else suggest what more I should be giving for a reason. I look forward to your replies.
Here’s the rub, you live in a Socialist [emoji90]Hole like me here in Neuyoykistan. You’ve got to be very careful what you say on that application. Offhand I’d say that stating personal protection might just be a deal breaker to any sort of Libtard judge or whatever granting authority. So be careful there, very careful !
Take the time, search around, fine others who successfully applied and copy their wording with just minor changes. Don’t just look at one guys app, look at a few, follow their advice and guidance.
The first thing you have to do is see this more as a job applicant than any sort of right. That’s just life in in these disgusting states where honest people have few rights. Make sure to use the buzz words that others use, keep it short and to the point.
Here’s a tip from a State Cop who used to do these backgrounds in NY. If you need character references be careful who you use. He said many references simply forget to send in the paperwork. So follow up and make sure they get it done.
If you will have to be in some sort of interview expect some kind of “what if “ scenario question. Your response should be all about backing up, avoiding a fight, running like hell ect. ANYTHING TO AVOID USING DEADLY FORCE. Or something like you happen upon Jr. breaking in and starting your car, want to do? You can’t shoot him unless he’s in the act of trying to run you over with it, right? Or Jr. across the parking lot waving a blade threatening you from 100’, will you won’t you? It all revolves around if they are a direct threat of death/ serious injury, PERIOD!! Just keep that sort of thing in mind for if they ask as well as for the real thing.
It’s all a PITA by design so you have to play the game. If you believe it will help sign up for a CC course. It might help things and is always a good idea anyways.
