CCW Information & Forms:
Concealed carry, or carrying a concealed carry weapon (CCW), is the practice of carrying a weapon (such as a handgun) in public in a concelaed manner on one's person. CCW is often practiced as a means of self defense. Following the Supreme Court's NYSRPA v. Bruen (2022) decision, all states in the United States are required to allow concealed carries of a handgun either permitessly or with a permit although it is different to obtain a permit per state. Some states only offer resident permits while some offer both non-resident and resident permits as well as some states are constituional carry (permitless).
Why do I want a CCW?
To have the ability to protect myself and my family both home and away from home including traveling through different states that have reciprocity with your CCW.
Why do I need more than one CCW?
Some states will only honor their own CCW, and they do not have any reciprocity with any other states- ie; NJ, MD, NY to name a few. Multiple CCWs will also increase the number of states you may carry in (reciprocity).
Will I have to be fingerprinted in each state I apply to?
Yes- each state requires their own fingerprinting process.
