It will depend on your state,  in some after you have your training class and submit it to the state, you get one issued on the spot, in others it can take a couple of months

The ramifications are huge -- not only for law enforcement but for the common everyday person too.  There are a lot of very unstable people walking around freely and some of them are medicated to the point of intoxication.  Consealed Carry has the potential of putting innocent people at greater risk and that alone is cause for concern.  If a private citizen/person has the right to carry a fire arm it should be exposed.\n\nIn the United States, concealed carry (a.k.a. CCW) is the right to carry a handgun or other weapon in public in a concealed manner. In some states, it applies only to the carry of firearms as all other weapons are expressly not covered by the right. Even as the number of states adopting legislation permitting this has grown, it has met with opposition. Currently, 48 U.S. states permit adults who have applied, have no criminal record, and (in some cases) meet training requirements to carry one or more handguns in a concealed manner. In some states the same permit may be used to openly carry a handgun. In others open carry is prohibited even with a permit. A few states do not require a permit to carry openly.\n\nIn 39 of these states, issuing officials may not arbitrarily deny a permit application, a practice known as Florida-style "shall issue." A further eight states have "may issue" laws; typically specific "need" must be established, but in practice, this is often a mechanism to prohibit most people from carrying.\n\nThese "may issue" states range from "shall issue" in practice (Alabama and Connecticut are examples) to "at the whim of local officials" (such as New York, Massachusetts, and California; rural officials in those states liberally issue permits but officials in urbanized counties generally are more restrictive) to "almost non-issue" in states such as Maryland where even documented death threats are sometimes not sufficient to convince officials to issue permits and to "never-issue" Hawaii, where permits are never issued under any circumstances.\n\nTwo states, (Vermont and Alaska), allow any non-felon who has reached the age of 16 or 21 respectively, to carry without a permit of any kind. However, Alaska residents may still obtain a completely optional, non-required permit so as to receive reciprocal carry rights in other states, or to gain exemption from the NICS background check.\n\nAs of 2006, only two US States—Wisconsin and Illinois—have no provision whatsoever that would allow for the legal concealed carry of firearms by "ordinary" citizens. There are currently movements in each of these states to pass concealed-carry laws; legislation was passed in 2004 and again in 2005, but vetoed by the respective governors. It is expected that Wisconsin will have a signed Concealed Carry law by the end of 2007. The Kansas legislature over-rode the governor's veto to pass CCW on March 23rd, 2006.\n\nReciprocal recognition of concealed carry privileges vary by state to state, are negotiated by each state with each other state where reciprocity exists, and additionally depend, in some cases, on the residency status of individuals holding each state's concealed carry license. Presently, a license from most states, held by a resident of that state, is recognized in approximately 30 other states. In contrast, a license from most states, held by a non-resident of that state, is recognized in slightly fewer than 30 other states at present. Attempts have been made in the US House to pass legislation to force all states to recognize all other state's concealed carry licenses, much as driver's licenses are recognized in all other states besides the one where issued, but no corresponding attempts at such legislation have occurred in the US Senate.\n\nCarrying a weapon is an enormous responsibility. Training courses spend a considerable amount of time discussing the many aspects of liability should one actua

The most important information was left out of the question....What state do you live in???....If you want a gun so you can be an armed guard then the company you will be employed by will sponsor you for the Gun Permit.  That permit is generally only good for the time you are working.  In other words, you would sign-out your weapon at the beginning of your work day and sign it back in at the end of the day.  Some states allow you to carry the weapon at all times as long as you are employed by the Guard Service.  I have carried a gun for nearly 40 yrs as a former Police Officer.  Believe me, it is a heavy burden(NYPD Ret).

Yes, and the person selling it must also have a permit.\n\nThe sales and purchases of all HANDGUNS in the State of North Carolina are restricted to persons having a PERMIT TO PURCHSE A HANDGUN issued by the Sheriff of the county where the purchaser resides. Applicants are checked for past and present criminal activity, drug addiction, mental deficiency, residency requirements, age, employment, and propensity for violence. The approval or denial of a HANDGUN PERMIT is based on the information you provide on the application.\n\nThe application is to lawfully purchase a handgun and does not give you authority to conceal or lawfully carry a handgun.\n\nYou will have to look it up for your county, but here is an example of what kind of application you have to fill out: http://www.stanlysheriff.org/handgun.htm

Actually, it depends on the state. For example, in VA you have to present your driver's license within 24 hours to the police if you get pulled over. If you don't want the hassle, just keep your license on you when you drive.

it depends on which state you live in. i live in alabama, where you have to be at least 18 to own a shotgun/rifle. 21 to own a pistol. what i did when i bought my sig sauer p239 is i had to fill out a form that is faxed to the a.t.f. it was a background check. once that is cleared, then i had do 2 things. i had to go to the courthouse, and actually get my concealed carry permit, which for me cost $20, then i had to register the pistol with my local police dept. the best piece of advice i can give you about this, is to read up on your local firearm laws, they will explain everything that you have to go through, in order to obtain a permit

It would depend what kind of license you're talking about...Usually, if you talk about a drivers license, you can use your out of state license for up to 30 days without requiring a change of address etc...locate your local DMW for that...they'll be able to tell you better...\n\nIf you talked about any other kind of license...then sorry, no clue

If you've moved to PA to live, you are a resident.  You must change over driver's license within 60 days, and, I think, you registration within 30 days.  When you change your license, you also get registered to vote.  You can get your hunting and fishing licenses as soon as you get your driver's lic.  Welcome to PA.

You need to ask your physician! Your physician WILL know the proper steps to go through and is the one who must qualify you for the permit anyway.

Yes. The person for whom it is issued can't own a firearm for a certain period among other restrictions.

Most states in the west like Texas and Georgia have a law that a civilian can own a firearm legally.  Once it is displayed in public view for all to see.  If you are driving it must be displayed on the dash board of the vehicle.  I don't know of any other states at the moment.

Head to your local County Clerk's Office for a pistol permit.  You'll have to fill it out, get fingerprinted and wait.  And wait.

As long as you are not a FELON and you HAVE on YOUR person a valid weapons(gun) carry permit, AND you are of legal age to OWN and POSSES a firearm, there is nothing they can do about it;however,our LIBERAL MEDIA and their followers have done such a wonderful job scareing the heck out of the public at large that (people) will probably be some what alarmed by the presence of it if they notice it and you don't "LOOK" like someone who "should" be carrying a gun on your hip.Hereto there are so many places now that are posted "NO WEAPONS" that you would be taking it off and putting it on so frequently,why bother?In which case you might as well get a permit to carry a concealed weapon and then as your hopefully common-sense driven discretion allows you could "playfully" expose it to get the thrill of talking to the POLICE and being the center of attention that you're so desperately seeking as to be willing to have some trigger-happy cop take a shot at youbecause when he asked you to take it out and give it to (HIM) you did actually remove it from the holster instead of leaving it in the holster and handing over the whole thing so he could take it and check the national registry to see if it was stolen and to verify your credentials.DON'T THINK THAT I AM KIDDING AROUND HERE...They take people and train them regardless of personality to be pit bulls, suspiciuos of every one.In my town they kill people frequently and get away wth it,either with guns or tasers or their squad cars or their K-9,Oh yea babe! BAM! IF you really are such a thrill seeker or you just don't value your life at least get some life insurance so your poor family can give you a decent burial...

It all depends on what state you live in and what type of gun permit you have. The states range from:\n\nVermont--which doesn't even issue such a thing as a "gun permit" because you don't need one to buy a gun or carry one openly or concealed.\n\nto:\n\nIllinios--which requires you to have a permit to own ANY type of gun, and doesn't allow you to get a permit to carry it in public openly or concealed.\n\nThe other states fall somewhere in between. Name your state, and I can help you more..
