SUTTER COUNTY CCW PERMITS

Upon approval of your Sutter County CCW application, you will be required to complete at least a 16 hour CCW training for an initial permit, including demonstrating the ability to safely (and proficiently) handle and use the handguns (up to 3) to be on your permit, and you must "qualify with each weapon to be on your permit, by specific serial number. The gun(s) must be registered to you.

 To renew a Sutter County CCW permit, you must attend an 8 hour CCW renewal (refresher) course, and qualify with the weapons which will be on your new permit, and apply for a simple renewal with the Sutter County Sheriff's department for a CCW renewal.  

Sutter County CCW permits and issuance criteria, training requirements and other information can be found on this page with Best Handgun Training, as well as the link below, to the Sutter County Sheriff's Department.

You must schedule an appointment directly with the Sutter County Sheriff Department, CCW division. You shall demonstrate good moral character, prove that you are an outstanding resident of Sutter County, and be prepared to undergo a thorough and complete background check. You must be a resident of Sutter County, and 18 or older to obtain your Sutter County CCW permit.

Obtaining a CCW (carry concealed weapons) permit in Northern CA is much easier than many bay area and Southern CA counties. It is each Sheriff's policy which dictates whether you are able to receive a CCW, or not. The state of CA requires that each applicant shall have good cause.

Do yourself a huge favor, and take the BEST training course available, and do not allow any shortcuts when taking this training. In CA, unfortunately, it is a "privilege" and not a right to be issued a CCW. Training is very important, and selecting the best instructor should be a very important factor, when you will be carrying a concealed weapon everyday. Regardless of the number of days, or how long the training is, or how far away the training center is, it is very crucial to know the laws of the state of CA, and particularly knowing the laws when it comes down to self defense, and where you are not allowed to carry weapons, etc., rather than just demonstrating that you can shoot a gun at a range. Just a word of caution ....   If you attend an initial Sutter County CCW training from a desperate part time instructor offering a training course for $80, you should know that you get exactly what you pay for. At Best Handgun Training, we are full time instructors, and we are prepared to teach you anything and everything about CCW.

When attending a Sutter County 16 hour initial CCW training course, or an 8 hour renewal course with BEST Handgun Training, you will walk away with a tremendous amount of knowledge, and you will be well prepared to carry concealed weapons.
