Important Update: CCW Renewal Process & Fee Changes
​
Effective September 1st, pursuant to SB 2, live scan fingerprinting is now a mandatory requirement for all CCW renewals. Please note that the live scan fee is separate from standard renewal fees.

​Fee Breakdown (Sacramento County):
▪ ​Renewal Fee: $267
▪ ​Live Scan Fee: ~$135 (Fees vary by jurisdiction; please confirm exact amounts with your issuing agency).

​Important Timeline Reminders:
▪ ​Apply Early: Due to variable processing times for live scans, we strongly recommend starting your renewal process 30 to 45 days prior to your license expiration date.
▪ ​Plan Ahead: Ensure you leave enough time to complete your application, live scan, and required training.

​While the updated regulations add extra steps to the process, don't let the extra paperwork discourage you. Stay the course—we are here to help you navigate it!

​Upcoming CCW Renewal Classes:
▪ ​Sunday, September 13th
▪ ​Sunday, October 11th

​Bobby and I appreciate your patience as we’ve been balancing some personal life demands, but we are excited to get back on our regular schedule. Keep an eye out—our full class schedule through the end of the year will be posted this weekend!
​
Stay safe out there,
Erica

CCW UPDATE FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY RESIDENTS

Assembly Bill 1948 (AB 1948) was recently signed into law and, beginning January 1, 2027, standard California CCW licenses may be issued for up to three years, an increase from the current two-year license term.

If you already have a CCW license, it will remain valid until the expiration date printed on your permit. Existing licenses will not automatically be extended to three years. New and renewal CCW licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027, may be eligible for the new three-year term, provided all statutory requirements are met.

While the license term is changing, the eligibility requirements are not. Background checks, fi****ms training, and all other requirements under California law will remain in effect.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our inaugural Drill Workshop in December. Your attendance and valuable feedback are greatly appreciated.

For our upcoming session, we have implemented changes based on direct student input to enhance the experience:
• Class size will be limited to six students per session.
• Two sessions will be available on the same day.

Structure:
A morning and an afternoon session will be offered. This format accommodates both students who prefer a shorter four-hour workshop and those who wish to extend their time at the range. Participants may register for either the morning or afternoon session individually or choose to attend both sessions for a comprehensive experience. A short break will be scheduled between sessions to reset the range as needed.

Class prerequisite:
• Students should have basic safe gun handling skills.
• Previously taken Gunlady Basic Pistol class or other class equivalent is preferred but not required.
• CCW is NOT required to participate

Next Scheduled Date:
Drill Workshop – February 7th
Morning Session: 8:15 AM – 12:00 PM
Afternoon Session: 12:15 PM – 4:00 PM

Cost: $100 per session plus applicable range fee

Note: If you elect to enroll in both sessions, the total cost will be $200 plus range fee.

Good Evening!

As promised we have begun to offer a series of workshops with our students in mind!

Registration has been opened for a Drill Workshop. This is a 4-hour workshop that will focus on running various drills and scenarios to allow you to test your skill level drawing from the holster with speed and accuracy.

The goal of this workshop is to sharpen or maintain your skill set while receiving real time feedback for those looking to build confidence in their abilities.

We will host a workshop once a quarter, so if you miss this one check back for the next one in 2026

Happy Holidays to you and your family!
