There is no federal law specifically addressing the issuance of concealed-carry permits, so each state's government determines the laws around gun permits and permissions: the details.

The federal government will not allow a state to prohibit the right to carry a gun, so Illinois had to allow its residents to carry a concealed weapon as of January 2014.
