About this app

Quick overview app of Concealed Carry Laws by state. See basic information for all 50 states including maps, excluded locations, and more.

Concealed carry or carrying a concealed weapon (CCW) is the practice of carrying a weapon (such as a handgun) in public either on you or in close proximity. All 50 states have passed laws allowing citizens to carry certain concealed firearms in public, either without a permit or after obtaining a permit from local government and/or law enforcement. The states give different terms for licenses or permits to carry a concealed firearm, such as a Concealed Handgun License/Permit (CHL/CHP), Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW), Concealed (Defensive/Deadly) Weapon Permit/License (CDWL/CWP/CWL), Concealed Carry Permit/License (CCP/CCL), License To Carry (Firearms) (LTC/LTCF), Carry of Concealed Deadly Weapon license (CCDW), Concealed Pistol License (CPL), etc. Thirteen states use a single permit to regulate the practices of both concealed and open carry of a handgun.

Regulations differ widely by state, with most states currently maintaining a "Shall-Issue" policy. As recently as the mid-'90s most states were No-Issue or May-Issue, but over the past 30 years states have consistently migrated to less restrictive alternatives.

Many jurisdictions have established arrangements where they recognize or honor permits or licenses issued by other jurisdictions with comparable standards. This is known as Reciprocity and is based on U.S. Constitution "full faith and credit" provision.

While generally a concealed carry permit allows the permit holder to carry a concealed weapon in public, a state may restrict carry of a firearm including a permitted concealed weapon while in or on certain properties, facilities or types of businesses that are otherwise open to the public. These areas vary by state and you should research these restrictions carefully.

Ratings and reviews

This App is constantly updated and current. It's easy to understand and find answers to uncommon questions. I've referred this App to most of my CCW associates and they are thoroughly satisfied with it as well. I have this App on all my family's cell phones, tablets, and computers. Highly recommended!!! 👌🏼

To the point.....but I researched two states, Washington and Indiana. In both, the app claims that firearms are allowed in National Parks. No, they are not allowed in ANY National Park Nation wide. Also, to validate the information in the app, it should have a link to the official website of that state so that the user can see for themselves the written laws.

On a review hear it states that this app is wrong for national parks and that guns can not be carried in National Parks. This is just wrong. They are allowed in every National Park unless you are a prohibited person. Love the app wish it was easier to suggest Corrections.
