How can you get a concealment weapons permit?

Answer 1

The short answer, based on what I think you're asking, is you can't, because no such thing exists. The longer answer is, the only way to be able carry everywhere in the U.S. is to become a commissioned officer through a federal agency such as the FBI, or to be a commissioned police officer, and carry under the HR218 law.

Answer 2

It depends on where you are because different states have different requirements. If you are not a law enforcement official of some kind, there is no permit that allows you to carry everywhere in the U.S. Most states that issue carry permits recognize at least some permits from other states. Wisconsin, Illinois, and the District of Columbia do not issue permits. Each state that does issue has different rules and regulations. Check the related link for more information.

The answer is yes - here's a link to PA's site http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/crime.aspx?id=184

The orignal question was not a yes or no question, nor was it posted under Pennsylvania state requirements. It simply asked how do you get a carry permit for the US, and the answer stands as I wrote it. There is no single permit that every state recognizes. You can get permits from several states even if you are not a resident of those states, but the most states you can legally carry is is 37 or 38 states, even with multiple permits. Some states such as Tennessee recognize permits from any state, but some states, such as New Jersey, don't recognize permits from any other state.

Answer 3

In general terms, in the United States, there is no such thing; it doesn't exist. If you are a police officer or retired police officer, you can carry in any state under HR 218, but for non-LEO, you can't. If you have a Tennessee permit or a Florida permit, you can carry legally in 38 or 39 states, but that's about as good as you can do.

Answer 4

It depends on where you live. Some cities and counties are known as "shall issue" states, which means that they have to give it to you unless you have legal issues past of present that has to do with violence. In Democrat controlled states, you can FORGET IT unless the local Chief of Police or County Sheriff is willing to give it to you. Despite the states wishes because that is their right. At least in California. Arizona and Nevada are examples of "shall issue" states and then then if you have one in one state, sometimes other states will automatically honor it such as Nevada who will accept an Arizona CCW. Arizona CCW's are honores buy at least one or 2 other states but I can't remember at this time. I hope this helps you.

Answer 5
