Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Laws and Permits

In most parts of America, a CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) license is required to legally carry a concealed firearm. In some parts of America, these licenses are not available to citizens without significant political connections!

It is completely unreasonable that you should be required to obtain permission from the government to exercise rights guaranteed to you by the United States Constitution, but that is the way it is. It is disgraceful how we have enabled our government to make subjects of us all.

Equal Rights for CCW

In California, a CCW (Carry Concealed Weapons) permit allows you to legally defend your life with a gun outside of your home or business. To get one, you need to pass a background check and get trained. No problem there. The problem, and the reason there's only about 39,000 permits in the whole state, is that you also have to get the personal permission of your police chief or sheriff, who decides on your good cause for issuance. For some reason, wealthy major campaign contributors tend to have more good cause than others. And minorities consistently have none.
