Also, it is a license, not a permit. ;)

Nothing personal Protias, but ....

License = Permit = Permission Slip - And what is the difference?

I hold a resident Concealed Firearm "Permit" from Utah, a non-resident Concealed Weapon or Firearm "License" form Florida, a non-resident Concealed Weapons "Permit" from Arizona, a non-resident "License" to Carry Firearms from Pennsylvania, a non-resident Concealed Firearms "Permit" from Nevada, and a card from the State of Utah that is neither a permit nor a license, but identifies me as a Concealed Firearms Permit Instructor. As a matter of functionality, the whole permit vs license debate is pointless.

My PA "license" means that I am an "out-of-state Licensee" within the meaning of SB-93 as amended, but so does my UT and AZ "permit". My FL "license" and NV "permit" are not so lucky. Neither the "license" from Florida nor the "permit" from Nevada qualify me as an "out-of-state licensee under WI law.

The card we get says Conceal Carry License. That would be like saying clip instead of magazine.

Welcome Aaron. Nomenclature can be formidable when you're new but it soon will be old hat. The best part about this forum is that it can be a great learning experience so enjoy...

Oh... and carry on!

ive spent about 30 hrs reading and watching videos on the thread for new to open carry and old threads on opencarry . and wow i cant believe the stuff ive learned and the laws i never new about . so many rights that are getting lost with pure age and us not excersizing them .

OPENCARRY.ORG IS A GREAT FORUM
