FAQ
Concealed carry, or carrying a concealed weapon (CCW), is the practice of carrying a weapon (such as a handgun) in public in a concealed manner, either on one's person or in close proximity. CCW is often practiced as a means of self-defense.
PROHIBITED AREAS: California CCW Laws prohibit the carrying of a loaded firearm in the following areas: (a) Any Federal building or other structure. (b) Military bases. (c) National Cemeteries.
A CCW license generally lasts two years and is generally valid throughout the state; however, a license issued based on the applicant's place of employment or business may be valid no longer than 90 days and only in the county where it was issued.
California's Concealed Carry Laws The law allows individuals with a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit to carry their firearms. In California, it is illegal to have a loaded or unloaded gun openly. A CCW permit allows ordinary citizens to carry guns legally in public.
The CCW license allows the licensee to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person where not restricted or prohibited by federal, state, or local law.
