CCW Jurisdiction Updates
Fresno County CCW Unit-(559) 600-8515
All CCW renewal applicants will be subject to a delay in processing their online renewal. The County has experienced a huge increase in new applicants and the workload has been overwhelming. As of this blog writing, most renewal applicants will experience a 4-6 week delay in receiving their renewal CCW. All renewal applicants can complete their 4- hour renewal class up to 60 days before their expiration date, but renewal applicants can only submit their online renewal application within 30 days of their current expiration date. Fresno County appreciates your patience during this unprecedented demand for new CCW's and thanks all renewal applicants for their understanding of the current situation. The unit hopes to reduce processing times with added staffing soon!
City of Fresno CCW Unit-(559)-621-6562
Police Chief Paco Balderrama recently announced that new applicants for a City of Fresno CCW will be required to shoot 50 rounds per weapon for the initial range qualification. The prior requirement was 100 rounds per weapon. This modification was in light of the ammo shortage and increased costs of ammunition. The Chief encourages any law abiding citizen of the City of Fresno to apply with officer Roland Diaz of the City of Fresno CCW unit. A Good Cause statement as to a specific reason why the applicant needs a license to carry will be required.
The City of Fresno CCW application and renewal process will be upgraded to an online application venue with a target date of September 1st, 2021!
Madera County CCW Unit-(559) 675-7770
The CCW unit of Madera County recently announced launching the Permitium Online application system for all Madera County CCW initial and renewal applicants. The system is very similar to the requirements of what Fresno, Tulare and Kings County are using. All Madera initial applicants and renewal applicants will have a choice to use the online venue to renew or still contact the issuing substation for assistance with a traditional paper application. Madera renewal applicants can complete their online renewal up to 90 days prior to their CCW expiration.

JLPFI Update: Thank you to all of our new clients over the past few months for taking the leap of faith into applying for a CCW! JLPFI has met and witnessed a multitude of great attitudes, great questions and concerns regarding the responsibilities of concealed carry! We are seeing many new owners of firearms experiencing their first time handling a weapon and receiving a very positive experience. JLPFI also thanks the all of those clients and members that have allocated time, money and ammunition to commit to confirmed, continued training sessions. Our mission is to continue to provide excellence in professional firearms training and stretch all of our clients abilities to the next level!
Maintenance Required!
JLPFI is all about teaching our clients how important maintenance is for your firearm! The start of all JLPFI CCW renewal courses, comes with a full inspection of the firearms present to identify any red flags of environmental contamination to each individual weapon. The variety of contaminants include dead skin, rust, too much oil, lubricants that gum up the action, and even the occasional lint buildup in the action! Before and after, each trip to the range should warrant a full maintenance protocol to include using a home air compressor to blow out contaminants, or the use of many available cleaning tools and products to keep those weapons running trouble free. JLPFI recommends caliber specific boresnakes and Swab Its cleaning tools. www.swab-its.com
Our courses always include a complimentary sample of Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Lubricant and a gun wipe to encourage our clients to make time to clean their weapons with a great synthetic lubricant! https://www.slip2000.com
We all lead busy lives, but our weapons require maintenance to remain reliable in our time of demand of defense and training. Train Hard!
