How Do I get a concealed weapons permit?
Applicants are advised, a concealed weapons permit, in the State of California is a privilege, not a Right! We suggest you go to your local police agency or the Sheriff and apply for a permit. We suggest you first think about the reasons you might need a concealed weapons permit. Agencies are reluctant to issue permits based upon a recreational reason or upon your “second amendment right”. Please understand a permit is issued for “cause” and you need to articulate a reason for the agency to issue a permit. This reason should include issues which are not optional, ie: camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, desert exploring etc. Valid reasons for agencies to issue the permit often include the following: employment or business related reasons, the applicant has become a victim of a crime, is the holder of a restraining order, is the subject of threats, lives in a remote location and must drive long distances at night, or has otherwise become a “target”. You will need to articulate the reasons for your needing a permit and remember, personal protection is often not a valid reason. You may need a permit for personal protection, you will however need to disclose to the agency the underlying causal factors for your need for personal protection.
