What You Should Know About Concealed Carry Training

What You Should Know 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.

But, even though folks had it bad back then, they had a much more safer existence. At present, the modern technology that has been helping the public has also been helping those who only had their personal interests in mind. Crimes against humanity have reached an all time high, which got people to consider having wi concealed carry training.

The term concealed carry means carrying a weapon in public in a concealed manner. However, not all the weapons that fall under this said category could be considered lethal. In fact, in some states, carrying more than the prescribed amount of pepper spray would require one to secure a special permit.

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.

Shall issue states are those areas who allow for the ownership of such obscure things only when one is granted a special license to be able to do so. Applicants do not even have to explain thoroughly why they needed the license, all they had to do is to submit the needed requirements. The granting council shall then issue the license if the applicant has complied to everything on their list.

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.

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.

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.

Trainings that are honored by the said state include the hunter education program of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. It also honors a similar program from another jurisdiction. Courses on the specific topic conducted by a national or state organization also meets the standards.
