The Truth 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.

There are actually four main groups of classification for the issuance of these special permits and licenses in varying states. First off, some states have an unrestricted status when it comes to the permissions of possessions of concealed weapons. In these states, private individuals are allowed to bring hidden handguns in public.

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 states are more strict than the shall issue ones. They, too, will require one to submit certain documents. They will also honor only those who have the exact qualifications. On top of that, the applicant has to provide a good cause for the granting of the said permit. The authorities may issue the permit once they have decided that the applicant has successfully passed their scrutiny.

No issue jurisdiction are, as the name implies, places where CCW is prohibited. These locations do not grant nor issue permits of any sort. They also do not recognize any license pertaining to the carrying of concealed weapon. As of July this year, all of the states have had their own regulations on the issuance of permits, so there are no such states any longer.

The states who have just upturned their no issue category on the CCW are now accepting applications from its citizens. Wisconsin, for example, accepts only applicants that are of legal age and are residents of the said state for quite some time. They also had to submit some sort of proof that they have undergone training.

Such trainings include the hunter education program which is issued by the Department of Natural Resources. Similar programs from other states can also be recognized. One can also take courses given by certified instructors specified by the granting authority.
