STAY IN THE KNOW (NOW) AND KEEP THE PEACE (PIECE)
JLPFI is seeking patriots to continue our mission!
Welcome to JLPFI's Fall blog! There is excitement stirring on the national level (possible national CCW reciprocity), continued speculation on the state level (recent firearms legislation) and cautious optimism on the local level (a new City of Fresno police chief will be appointed in January 0f 2025). No matter red or blue, we don't promote a political agenda, we simply focus on the mission that is all about each of you! JLPFI continues to welcome many new faces to our program. Whether first time shooters or new CCW applicants, we are sharing our knowledge and skills to promote personal safety and freedom from victimization. We are thankful for all of our loyal clients that have returned to renew their CCW!
More time, more ammo and more financial cost is involved, yet the value of our courses is focussed on introducing ever evolving concepts of awareness and range scenarios to keep each of you sharp and coming back for more! JLPFI strives to "keep you in the know" so you can "stay safe in the now!" We always encourage "keeping the peace" by "keeping the piece" within arms reach and everyday carry.
As the holiday season approaches, please consider the Gift of Training from JLPFI to a family member, friend or co-worker! We offer gift certificates for new firearms orientations, 16 hour CCW new applicant courses, and 8 hour renewal courses! What a great gift idea to provide your family and friends with professional firearms training from JLPFI this holiday season.

Fresno County CCW unit provided the following recent updates:
Fresno County CCW unit just added three more staff members which should help with the backlog of applicants.
Fresno County current CCW issuance is: 15,000 active permits.
Currently, the processing time for INITIALS – Appointments are out to about March 2025. Admin (with the addition of new personnel) are wanting to expand the number of interviews daily from 8 to 12 (and then ultimately to 16).
This should cut down on the wait time for initial appointments.
Currently, the processing times for RENEWALS – As of today’s date 10/25/24, there are approximately 238 Renewal applications in the pipeline waiting to be approved. They are still taking roughly 3 weeks to be approved… so, we STRONGLY encourage those submitting paperwork to give themselves the full 30-day window so they don’t run into problems. We are still allowing applicants whose permits have expired a 6-month window to get their stuff done and submitted before the computer automatically removes them from the DOJ databases (meaning they have to start all over). The one critical thing to remember (for this 6-month window) is that they MUST not only have submitted the application, and been approved, but they MUST PICK UP the permit before the 6-month exp date or they risk having to start all over (this has been an issue recently with a few applicants).
Does the Fresno County CCW holder have a DUTY to notify an officer on a traffic stop that they are carrying a weapon? Per ex-Sheriff Mims, applicants do not have a DUTY to notify. However, our agency always recommends to applicants that if they are pulled over, they SHOULD notify at the point the officer requests their Driver’s License and vehicle registration – as a courtesy for the safety of the officer(s) involved – this is a common-sense thing. But they certainly would not get their permit revoked for NOT notifying immediately.
Sheriff Zanoni was recently interviewed on local radio networks encouraging applicants to apply now for their CCW! The process has been streamlined and the processing times will be shorter than before with the added staffing to the CCW unit.
JLPFI thanks the Fresno County CCW unit for sharing this important information for our clients to stay in the know and pass on to anyone they know who is interested in applying for their CCW! JLPFI offers our 16 hour course in multiple training segments so our clients retain all the information provided in the 4 hour discussion and 12 hours of range training time! Call JLPFI now to set up your renewal or initial CCW course!
Range Happenings and Gear!
JLPFI is always excited to see new gear at our range sessions! Our job is to put that gear into action on the range.
