Some Information About Concealed Carry Training

By Paulette Mason


Modern technology is often seen as a double edged sword. It has brought about a lot of good things that were beneficial for mankind. It has also brought about negativity that has impeded some aspects of societal growth. The modern technology has given the population with all the gadgets and similar stuff that made life easier. These gadgets have also been the cause of so many problems.

The modern society of today has been a discombobulated mess. Rich people are getting richer, and poor people are getting poorer. Quality of living for the marginalized has never been as difficult as it is today, which is why more and more people are off to do whatever they possibly could just to make enough to survive. This has led to an inflation in the number of crimes, for which people have to have wi concealed carry training to be able to carry guns as a form of self defense.

Carrying a concealed weapon or CCW extends to refer to any private individual who is given the permission to carry weapons in areas where there are many people. The said weapon can be a handgun or a similar device, and it can be concealed somewhere beneath articles of clothing, or could be some place in close proximity. CCW permits do not always refer to guns and other fatal stuff, because they can include pepper spray and the like, especially when carried in great 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.

May issue jurisdictions require applicants to prove that they need to have the permit due to a good cause. Often, non specific reasons are not allowed, so one has to be as detailed as possible as to why he or she needed the CCW permit. Until then, the police or the sheriff may grant permission by the time they deem it safe for a certain applicant to be given one.

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.
