Concealed Weapon Permits are issued to normal everyday people in a number of cities and counties in California.  Police Chiefs and Sheriffs can issue to individuals with no criminal history and upon showing good cause.  On CalCCW, you can read about the policies of your local Police Chief and Sheriff, learn how to start the application process, and have experts review your good cause statement.
