3 Reasons You Should Get A Concealed Handgun License

It is said, “It’s better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.” This holds true for your weapon as well as its permit. The license has advantages that without permit carry does not yet offer.


Compliance With The Law

The first reason is the most obvious one: in case of emergency, you'll need to be able to defend yourself or someone you care about. The majority of states still demand that you have a permit in order to carry a concealed gun on your person.


Even if your state does not, for carrying concealed handguns outside of the state it would still be in your best interest to obtain that permit due to reciprocal agreements.



Convenient While Traveling

Many folks choose to keep their firearm in their automobile rather than on their person, so they can safeguard themselves when driving or traveling.


In general, your permit makes law enforcement feel at ease. In many places, if you do not have a concealed handgun permit, the gun must also be kept unloaded in a locked container and out of the driver's reach.


In states like Alabama, simply having a loaded gun in the car can result in a misdemeanor fine. You should have a concealed handgun license because you can be breaking the law right now without even realizing it.


Ease Of Access

Federal law mandates that all weapons sales and transfers through a registered dealer undergo criminal background checks. However, some states, like Louisiana, would let you avoid this background check at the time of a sale if the permit was obtained after March 2015 and you already completed it when you applied for the permit or renewed Louisiana concealed carry permit.


This significantly shortens and streamlines the process of purchasing that firearm from an authorized dealer. You can enter, choose what you want, fill out the form, make the payment, and leave with it. They merely take a copy of your permission to carry a concealed weapon.
