Carrying a Concealed Weapon CCW Permit Training

Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) is serious business and you should have some CCW Permit Training so that you are familiar with all the laws and safety issues of carrying a concealed weapon in public. Some people take CCW Permit Training and choose not to get a permit. They want to learn the laws regarding the use, storage, and transportation of firearms as all responsible gun owners should and may not want the responsibility of carrying them in public on a daily basis. These issues and more are covered by (HGWTC) Have Gun Will Train Colorado’s CCW Permit Training Programs.

In Colorado, a weapon is concealed on your person if it is placed out of sight so as not to be discernible or apparent by ordinary observation. This means that if you can tell it’s a handgun it’s not concealed. Also in Colorado, the permit is called a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP).

You will see people open carrying a handgun in public but I do not recommend it. This can be very dangerous for you and the people around you. We are seeing more incidents where people have lost their guns to a criminal in public and then had that gun used in a crime. Sometimes the gun owner has been charged in these incidents for negligence and held responsible for what the criminal did with the gun. CCW Permit Training will teach you about the pros and cons of different types of handgun carry.

Colorado is a shall-issue state and that means that if you qualify to have the concealed handgun they will issue you the permit. Unlike other states that are may issue like New York, New Jersey, and California. At last count there were 9 may issue states in this country. These states are allowed to use their own discretion in either issuing or denying a permit. Some may-issue states require an applicant to show good cause for obtaining a permit.

Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit holders enjoy many freedoms other states do not have. The Colorado concealed handgun permit is valid in 35 states.  This CCW Permit Training is great information for anyone who wishes to have a handgun for self-protection in or out of the home or business.
