TABLE OF CONTENTS
A license to carry a concealed weapon (CCW License) permits its owner to carry a concealed handgun on their person for self-defense, in compliance with set rules and regulations.
A person wishing to apply for a CCW License must:
Prior to applying for a CCW License, the applicant must read all relevant documentation and ensure they understand the application proces.
The applicant must then submit their application, ensuring that all necessary fields have been filled properly and the information provided is accurate and up to date.
Once the application has been submitted, a Firearms Licensing Officer will receive the application and review it. Depending on their findings the application may be accepted, pended, denied, or banned, depending on whether or not the applicant made any errors or the information provided by the applicant has been deemed insufficient.
All applications, if accepted, are then passed through to a Senior Firearms Licensing Officer or above to be approved, this is automatically sent once the application has been accepted.
If the application is approved, the applicant will be able to request the CCW examination. The examination tests the applicant's knowledge of regulations surrounding firearm usage, and relevant state law. It may also pose questions with hypothetical situations, whereby the examinee will be expected to choose what response they find most suitable.
The applicant will then be required to pay the monetary fee of $5,000 and the CCW License will be issued to them if the payment is deemed valid by an FLO. ((The usage of the command /transfer 020000029 (i.e /transfer 020000029 5000) is required with the requested amount of money, then make sure to take a screenshot of it. ))
((NOTE: An applicant should not contact any firearms licensing staff member, or any law enforcement faction member in general, in regards to the status of their application. All applications are handled as soon as possible. Contacting firearms licensing staff in regards to application status can result in an instant DENIAL or BAN, depending on the circumstances.))
In order to be eligible to be issued a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit in San Andreas, you need to articulate that you are of greater risk than the general public in your day-to-day life, have a highly probable/imminent threat to your life or the life of a friend/family member, or that you are a frequent victim of violent crime to the point that there is a credible pattern that you are being targeted over the average person.
When articulating this, you may find it pertinent to divulge details of your job, residency status, previous experience in violent situations, or with utilising firearms. These claims may be challenged by licensing officers, and proof of these occurrences may be requested in the form of proof of address, employment, high threat or prior police reports that detail your prior encounters with violent situations.
The length of your good cause statement is entirely discretionary. A minimum of 75 words but no maximum for the length of your statement. It is recommended that you think about your statement very carefully and go into enough detail to properly articulate to the licensing authority that you need access to a concealed weapon in order to protect yourself or someone close to you from a very probable threat where the presence of a concealed firearm would mitigate such a threat.
