Concealed Weapon

What Is a Concealed Weapon?

A concealed weapon is a firearm or other deadly weapon that a person carries in public in a way that is hidden from ordinary view. Although the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment ensures “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” state laws vary on the right to carry concealed deadly weapons without a permit.

What Is a Concealed Weapons Permit?

Every state in the U.S. allows in some way for concealed carry of a handgun, but some states require a permit to carry a loaded, concealed weapon in public. A concealed weapons permit is the legal documentation needed for the applicant’s state to carry a gun in a concealed manner.

The regulations vary widely from state to state, and the issue of concealed carry –like gun control laws and gun sales in general– is a hot-button topic in many states.
