A concealed carry weapon permit (or CCW) is the primary means of allowing average residents to carry guns concealed legally in California. In addition, there are many states that honor the CA CCW permit and will allow you to carry concealed and/or open depending on the state. Without a CCW permit, it is a unlawful to carry either a loaded or unloaded gun concealed on your body or in an off-body container such as a purse or backpack.
State regulation takes into consideration if an individual wants to get a gun permit:
• You possess good character;
• The reason behind getting the license for arms should be genuine like any family member is in danger;
• You meet specific residency necessities; and
• You should have proper firearm training before receiving the permit to use the firearms.
