San Diego County has gone from roughly 1,100 concealed carry permits to well over 30,000. [FLAG: confirm the 30,000 figure before publishing. This is Michael's number on air, not the Sheriff's.] This week Sheriff Kelly Martinez sat down in our studio for a full hour, and one answer stopped the room: if your CCW application gets denied, you can reapply the next day. No waiting period, nothing in statute. Both CCW instructors at our desk had been telling students otherwise.

That was not the only thing she put on the record. Her office issued 29 temporary gun violence restraining orders this entire year, and 11 permanent ones across several years, in a county of three and a half million people. She walks us through 41 years in the department, including ten of them working domestic terrorism cases undercover, and she explains why she still will not tell you her personal opinion on gun ownership. We also tell her, to her face, where we think she has it wrong.

San Diego CCW Denied? The Sheriff Says You Can Reapply the Next Day

789 views August 2, 2026 5:00 pm

California’s Voice for Law-Abiding Gun Owners

Entertaining, educating, and uniting California’s 2A community — one episode at a time.

Get the CCW Application Checklist

Confused about the process to get your San Diego CCW permit?

Use our checklist that clarifies the steps and makes it as straightforward as possible.

Beyond the Permit - The Responsible Gun Owner's Guide

So you just got your CCW permit.  Now what? 🤔

How to get your FFL03 & COE in California

Want to get your Curios & Relic’s license (FFL03) and Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in California? 

Latest Videos

San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez sat down with us and said something neither of our CCW instructors had heard before: if your concealed carry application is denied, you can reapply the next day. There is no waiting period in statute. None.

That matters because most denials we see are not dangerous people getting caught. They are law-abiding applicants who forgot a traffic stop from decades ago, or who never thought a mental health transport counted as "law enforcement contact." Nothing in their history made them a prohibited person. They just answered a badly written question.

In this interview:

- Where the Sheriff stands on CCW, in her own words, and why she will not give you her personal opinion on gun ownership
- Whether more permit holders has meant more problem calls for her deputies
- The arc from roughly 1,100 permits issued to well over 30,000
- Keeping a pathway open when the state tried to squeeze CCW instructors out of existence
- Why she opposed SB2 and refused a proposed large increase in fees
- Two more licensing positions added this budget year, and where the wait times stand now
- Why she wants renewals pushed to four years, "just like a driver's license"
- Her advice to applicants: read it, fill it out completely, and do not assume they already know. "We don't cross-pollinate data"
- The moment she tells us a denied applicant can reapply immediately
- Her case that a false answer on the form predicts a false answer in a post-shooting investigation, and why we push back on it

San Diego County Sheriff CCW licensing:

If you gave up on your permit after a denial, watch this one and then go reapply.

Sheriff Kelly Martinez: If Your CCW Is Denied, You Can Reapply Tomorrow

819 views 24 hours ago

San Diego County has gone from roughly 1,100 concealed carry permits to well over 30,000. [FLAG: confirm the 30,000 figure before publishing. This is Michael's number on air, not the Sheriff's.] This week Sheriff Kelly Martinez sat down in our studio for a full hour, and one answer stopped the room: if your CCW application gets denied, you can reapply the next day. No waiting period, nothing in statute. Both CCW instructors at our desk had been telling students otherwise.

That was not the only thing she put on the record. Her office issued 29 temporary gun violence restraining orders this entire year, and 11 permanent ones across several years, in a county of three and a half million people. She walks us through 41 years in the department, including ten of them working domestic terrorism cases undercover, and she explains why she still will not tell you her personal opinion on gun ownership. We also tell her, to her face, where we think she has it wrong.

San Diego CCW Denied? The Sheriff Says You Can Reapply the Next Day

789 views August 2, 2026 5:00 pm

Two weeks ago the crew said that if you already own firearms, getting a CCW is a way around California's new Firearm Safety Certificate class. The comments filled up with people from harder counties saying a CCW runs them $1,500, so why bother.

Dakota takes that seriously and clarifies what the advice was actually for. She also owns the part worth owning: San Diego is easy, roughly $700 to $800 and a quick process, and it is fair to say that sounds tone-deaf from a county where it is out of reach. It should not cost anything. It is a right. Nobody here is making fun of you for not being able to afford one.

Michael has less patience. If a CCW costs you $1,500 and an FSC costs $25, then the recommendation was obviously not aimed at you, and you did not need it spelled out. His question for anyone typing that complaint: which local organization have you joined, how many letters have you written your sheriff, how many board of supervisors campaigns have you worked? San Diego County had 1,100 CCW holders in 2015. It has over 30,000 now. Same state, same laws. That was fought for, and it was not fought for in a comments section.

Then the second clarification, and this one the crew concedes is a fair catch. Somebody on the show said an FSC basically gives you the right to purchase a gun. It does not. There is no background check attached to it. It confirms you passed the test, and it is one of the documents you need at the counter if you do not have a CCW. It does not make you an eligible person.

Then the second clarification, and this one the crew concedes is a fair catch. Somebody on the show said an FSC basically gives you the right to purchase a gun. It does not. There is no background check attached to it. It confirms you passed the test, and it is one of the documents you need at the counter if you do not have a CCW. It does not make you an eligible person.

Alisha's question: which firearm is legally classified as a machine gun under federal law even though it only fires one round per trigger pull?

Sam takes the long way around and lands on open bolt semi autos deemed readily convertible. Alisha was looking for the Atkins Accelerator, the spring-loaded bump stock the ATF called a machine gun in 2003, reversed itself on in 2006, and Sam explains exactly what made it different from the bump stocks banned by executive order in 2018.

Also in the segment: constructive possession and the M1 carbine, why a drop-in auto sear can be a registered machine gun without being a firearm, what Old Dominion actually means (Dakota has the fact check), and what bird the Supreme Court feathers come from. Nobody guessed goose.

President Trump just signed a sweeping executive order to protect Second Amendment rights—but what does it do? The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and potentially eliminate federal actions that restrict gun ownership, including ATF regulations, firearm classifications, and enforcement policies from the Biden administration.

We break down:

What this executive order really means for gun owners

Which federal gun laws and regulations could be overturned?

How could this impact CCWs, suppressors, and firearms manufacturing?

What happens next—will this order hold up?

Could this be the most significant rollback of gun control in decades? Watch now to find out!

Did Trump’s Executive Order Just Eliminate Federal Gun Laws?

Even the best techniques can be misused—and Position Sul is a prime example. In this discussion, Massad Ayoob shares why this popular "ready position" is often applied incorrectly, why it was never meant for the range, and how improper use can create serious safety risks.

Topics covered:

- The real purpose of Position Sul and why it was created
- Why using it as a default ready position is a mistake
- How poor technique can increase the risk of accidental muzzling
- The correct way to manage your firearm in close-quarters situations

Proper training is about using the right tool for the right job. Are you using Position Sul the way it was intended?

What’s your biggest firearms training pet peeve? Let us know in the comments!

The One Technique Gun Owners SHOULD NOT USE according to Massad Ayoob

Gun Owners Radio March 15, 2025 1:00 pm

This critical update includes a clear explanation of what happens next as the case moves to SCOTUS and how long your rights remain protected. Essential information for anyone with standard capacity magazines in California!
