If you want to help with your state's info, read inside

Hello friends, my name is Calvin and I am trying to help coordinate how each state's permit info and laws are setup.

Each state has a permit info and a laws section. For the permit info section, at a minimum, please acquire all of the following info. I am open to suggestions if you guys think more categories should be added.

Issuing Authority
Permit Information and Requirements
-NICS check
-Cost
-Required Documents
Informing Law Enforcement of Carry
Automobile carry
Places off-limits when carrying
Deadly Force / Castle Doctrine
Localities with Varying Laws



For the laws, this would be a "highlight" of law pertaining to concealed carry. Include relevant statutes to your state carry along with the section number. Information about assault weapon bans and things of this nature are not necessary. Ideally, if you could include a link to your state's legislature site, showing the full text for all your state's firearm law, we would like that.
A good example would be in the Deleware forum, see Link Removed or this link.

Wshington States RCW 9.41.070

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41

RCW 9.41.070

Concealed pistol license —

(1) The chief of police of a municipality or the sheriff of a county shall within thirty days after the filing of an application of any person, issue a license to such person to carry a pistol concealed on his or her person within this state for five years from date of issue, for the purposes of protection or while engaged in business, sport, or while traveling. However, if the applicant does not have a valid permanent Washington driver's license or Washington state identification card or has not been a resident of the state for the previous consecutive ninety days, the issuing authority shall have up to sixty days after the filing of the application to issue a license. The issuing authority shall not refuse to accept completed applications for concealed pistol licenses during regular business hours.

The applicant's constitutional right to bear arms shall not be denied, unless:

(a) He or she is ineligible to possess a firearm under the provisions of RCW 9.41.040 or 9.41.045;

(b) The applicant's concealed pistol license is in a revoked status;

(c) He or she is under twenty-one years of age;

(d) He or she is subject to a court order or injunction regarding firearms pursuant to RCW 9A.46.080, 10.14.080, 10.99.040, 10.99.045, 26.09.050, 26.09.060, 26.10.040, 26.10.115, 26.26.130, 26.50.060, 26.50.070, or 26.26.590;

(e) He or she is free on bond or personal recognizance pending trial, appeal, or sentencing for a felony offense;

(f) He or she has an outstanding warrant for his or her arrest from any court of competent jurisdiction for a felony or misdemeanor; or

(g) He or she has been ordered to forfeit a firearm under RCW 9.41.098(1)(e) within one year before filing an application to carry a pistol concealed on his or her person.

No person convicted of a felony may have his or her right to possess firearms restored or his or her privilege to carry a concealed pistol restored, unless the person has been granted relief from disabilities by the secretary of the treasury under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 925(c), or RCW 9.41.040 (3) or (4) applies.

(2) The issuing authority shall check with the national crime information center, the Washington state patrol electronic data base, the department of social and health services electronic data base, and with other agencies or resources as appropriate, to determine whether the applicant is ineligible under RCW 9.41.040 or 9.41.045 to possess a firearm and therefore ineligible for a concealed pistol license. This subsection applies whether the applicant is applying for a new concealed pistol license or to renew a concealed pistol license.

(3) Any person whose firearms rights have been restricted and who has been granted relief from disabilities by the secretary of the treasury under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 925(c) or who is exempt under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 921(a)(20)(A) shall have his or her right to acquire, receive, transfer, ship, transport, carry, and possess firearms in accordance with Washington state law restored except as otherwise prohibited by this chapter.

(4) The license application shall bear the full name, residential address, telephone number at the option of the applicant, date and place of birth, race, gender, description, not more than two complete sets of fingerprints, and signature of the licensee, and the licensee's driver's license number or state identification card number if used for identification in applying for the license. A signed application for a concealed pistol license shall constitute a waiver of confidentiality and written request that the department of social and health services, mental health institutions, and other health care facilities release information relevant to the applicant's eligibility for a concealed pistol license to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency.

The application for an original license shall include two complete sets of fingerprints to be forwarded to the Washington state patrol.

The license and application shall contain a warning substantially as follows:


CAUTION: Although state and local laws do not differ, federal law and state law on the possession of firearms differ. If you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm, you may be prosecuted in federal court. A state license is not a defense to a federal prosecution.​

If anybody has specific questions about any counties in CA. PM me, I travel to 36 of the 58 providing State mandated LEO training. I know 48 of the 58 Sheriffs personally.

I'll be glad to do Indiana. I think that some important information missing from each state page that should be included is whether a particular state's permit is honored in another via a reciprocity agreement or unilateral recognition. Also, none of the state pages currently shows which permits the state honors; this info should be shown alongside the info showing the states in which a state's permit is honored.
