What You Should Know About Concealed Carry Training

By Paulette Mason


The world of the modern generation is, in more ways than one, better than what the previous generations had years back. The people of today had more stuff, stuff which were way better than those people had previously. Modern society also had things easier. Most tasks can be done by simple push of buttons, but years ago, old folks had to do hard manual labor from sun up until sundown.

But, even though folks had it bad back then, they had a much more safer existence. At present, the modern technology that has been helping the public has also been helping those who only had their personal interests in mind. Crimes against humanity have reached an all time high, which got people to consider having wi concealed carry training.

A CCW permit is a form of legal permission from authorities. One who carries such a permit is allowed to carry weapons in public, as long as it is well concealed. Most people think that CCW licenses are required only for those bringing lethal firearms, but it can also encompass potentially harmful substances in humongous amounts.

Generally, these permits fall under four basic categories, in accordance to individual state regulations. The first one is classified as unrestricted. A jurisdiction that has an unrestricted stand on concealed carry means that there are no permit requirements for one to have a hidden weapon on him or her. Some states even allow open carry of a handgun even without permit.

Other jurisdictions are classified as shall issue. A so called shall issue jurisdiction requires a license to carry a gun. This license is only granted when the set criteria is met. Thus, the granting authority shall issue a permit if the one who has applied for it has passed the set standards.

A may issue state requires a permit to approve of CCW. The granting of these permits is almost often at the discretion of local authorities such as the local police or the sheriff department. In this category, the person applying for the said permit has top demonstrate good cause, a direct contrast with shall issue states. Most of the time, vague reasons for self defense are not honored as good causes for the desired approval.

There are also some states that does not allow any private citizen to carry an obscured weapon in public areas. No issue refers to the iron clad stand that no permits nor licenses should be issued nor recognized in such states. Illinois was the last no issue state, and with its move to legalize the said permission last July 2013, no state is considered as no issue all over the country.

In states that have permitted CCW only recently, such as Wisconsin, require its citizens to undergo training in order to have a license. One also has to be at least 21 years old, a resident of the state and has not been prohibited from owning a firearm due to bail or a federal case.

They also had to submit a certification or any proof that they have had the necessary training. Such training protocols include a hunter education program from the natural resource department of the said state, though same programs from other places can also be honored. There are even special courses that really focus on the proper handling of concealed carry.
