How long does it take to be approved for a CCW in California?

I recommend getting a CCW if you are prepared for the responsibility of carrying it in public, and I imagine you likely are if you are prepared for the responsibility of owing a handgun and keeping it in your home. Being legally allowed to carry it doesnt mean you have to all the time, but its good to have options.
