Question 1

What's the difference between Nationwide CCW vs other firearms instructors?

Accepted Answer

At Nationwide CCW, our instructors are Certified by one or more of the following organizations or agencies, NRA, California DOJ, P.O.S.T (California Peace Officers Standards and Training -police instructor), BSIS, and have a vast experience and training in various fields and firearms, We go over what you need to know about the laws, firearms safety, carry options, and other protocols.

Training can vary extensively by various companies and individual instructors. But, please keep in mind that getting training by "Rambo" doesn't make a you a "Rambo" . PLEASE REMEMBER, Police officers get training six months to twelve months before they are sworn in, and than get an additional six months to a year in the "field" training AND receive continued training throughout the coming months and years and still doesn't make them perfect.

At Nationwide CCW we treat you and teach you as we would to any of our family members or friends. Please be a safe and responsible CCW holder and firearms owner and practice regularly.

Question 2

How do i apply for a CCW permit in Los Angeles county, Orange County, Riverside County, or anywhere in California (CA)?

Accepted Answer

You need to apply in the city that you reside. For example, if you live in city of Los Angles where your responding agency is LAPD, you would apply with LAPD. If you live in the city of Pasadena, you would need to apply with the Pasadena Police Department.
Most agencies by now have their own dedicated CCW unit. The simplest way would be to google your police agency followed by the following words (CCW). For example if your police agency is LAPD, you would google "LAPD CCW" and would get a link to their CCW page where you can click on it and read and follow the instructions to apply.  If you have any further questions, you may contact their (your police agencies) CCW unit either via telephone or email.

Question 3

Do I need to own a firearm before applying for a CCW with LAPD, LASD, Burbank police, Glendale Police, Pasadena Police, Santa Monica Police, Beverly Hills Police, or other police agencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need to own at least one qualified firearm. This means a firearm that is either on the California Roster or one you purchased before the roster creation or from a private party (which is now in your name).

Question 4

How long does it take to get my CCW with LAPD, LASD, Burbank police, Glendale Police, Pasadena Police, Santa Monica Police, Beverly Hills Police, or other police agencies??

Accepted Answer

Unlike many other states, there is NO one agency that handles the CCW's for California. In California, each Sheriffs or Police department issues their own CCW and has their own policies. Therefor, their processing times can vary. For best answer, contact your local police agency and find out what their processing time lookin like at this time. But, right now with most agencies various from 12 months to over 2 years.

Question 5

What is the best CCW permit to have?

Accepted Answer

Since the Supreme Courts Bruen decision in 2022. All states are shall issue, however, some states such as California, have a GOOD MORAL CHARACTER in place, which as long as you dont have a serious criminal records, you may be qualified to apply and receive a CCW.

Question 6

Is my CCW with LAPD, LASD, Burbank police, Glendale Police, Pasadena Police, Santa Monica Police, Beverly Hills Police, CCW permit good for only the city or county where i live in?

Accepted Answer

No, your California CCW is good for the whole state, However, there are some restrictions on where you are NOT allowed to carry a concealed firearm which will go over it in the class.

Question 7

If i have medical marijuana can i get a CCW?

Accepted Answer

As far as we know all police agencies have a policy on drug use and one of them is marijuana use, which is one of the questions on just about all applications we have come across. And it doesnt matter prescribed or recreational use.  Since marijuana is still federally illegal and with a CCW you can carry anywhere in the state including some other states (reciprocity), therefor it can be rejected. However, We strongly recommend checking with the police agency you wish to apply at to see their policies.

Question 8

Is there a psychological test involved?

Accepted Answer

You can find the answer from your local police agency or their website. Some agencies like Glendale and Gardena may require a psychological exam, as stated on their websites. For further assistance, contact us at info@nationwideccw.com.

Question 9

How much does a it cost to get a CCW?

Accepted Answer

The CCW fees vary extensively by each police department.  Please look further information on the pricing from the police agency you want to apply with.

Question 10

As a California Resident can i apply for (Multi-State) other states CCW?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some states (currently) such as Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Utah. offer none resident CCW. However, some of them require that you take the class and apply in their state.

We currently offer Multi-State CCW. For Arizona and or Florida. Just let us know prior to taking the California CCW class or if your just interested in one of both of these states, which will allow you to carry in most states.

Question 11

Why we recommend applying for Multi- State CCW?

Accepted Answer

• CCW from other states are cheaper in just about all cases compared to California.
 • You would be LEGAL to carry in their state and other states trough something call "Reciprocity"  which means those states honor the CCW from the other states.
 • We recommend applying for Arizona and Florida. Because, even though there is a agreement between these states (Reciprocity), they will ONLY ccw's from those states RESIDENTS ONLY and WILL NOT honor none resident ccw. For example, with Arizona ccw you can carry in many other states but not in Florida with a none resident ccw (including some other states).
 • Unlike California where your ccw permit is good for only 2 years, other states such as Florida and Arizona, the ccw permit is good for five (5) or seven (7) years.

Question 12

CCW vs. Constitutional Carry?

Accepted Answer

Even though it is now legal to constitutionally carry a firearm in many states, we still recommend applying for a CCW. A CCW involves a background check to ensure you are not a felon and are fully authorized to carry a firearm. Owning a CCW might give you permission to carry in some places where constitutional carry might not be allowed. Additionally, consider how a police officer might feel if you are stopped and you show your CCW rather than just stating you have a right to carry. Remember, the cost of a CCW is good for 5-7 years.

Question 13

Do I have to show my ccw to the police in California or other states?

Accepted Answer

This all depends on the particular state or police (issuing agency). Although some states do not have laws that you have to show your ccw with if being stopped or at any interactions with the police. Some agencies (like LAPD and LASD) will have you sign a document (prior to your issuance of the ccw) that you MUST notify the police that you are a ccw holder EVEN IF YOUR NOT carrying a firearm and for any interactions with the police.

Conclusion, it is best to find out from your local ccw issuing agency.

Question 14

Do i need a self defense insurance?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend and urge all our students to buy some form of self defense liability insurance. Unlike car insurance where it pays for damages, this type of self defense insurance pays for self defense. However, some gear more towards online training and DO NOT cover red flag laws. If you dont know about under the section titles "what is a red flag law".

If you ever had to hire or talk to an attorney, you know that they charge you hundreds if not thousands just to answer your questions. Be safe, be responsible, and protect yourself and your family.

After our research, we found that US law shied offers some of the best protection at lowest possible rates. Our recommendation is www.uslawshied.com

Question 15

What is a RED FLAG LAW?

Accepted Answer

What is California’s red flag law? 
A “red flag law” is a type of gun confiscation law. It allows certain people to seek a Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) to remove firearms from: 
 • a person who has been deemed a threat to themselves; or 
 • a person who has been deemed a threat to someone else. 
What does a gun violence restraining order do? 
 • A GVRO temporarily removes firearms and ammunition from the possession of someone who (1) is a threat to themselves, or (2) is a threat to someone else. 
Who can get a gun violence restraining order? 
 • Family members (spouse, domestic partner, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and half-siblings) of the person named in the petition;
 • Current or recent household members of the person named in the petition;

In regard to teachers, they can file a petition if: 
1. they are a teacher of a secondary(including lower, middle, or high school) or postsecondary school,
2. they get the approval of a school administrator or a school administration staff member, and
3. that person has a supervisorial role. 
Employers and school administrators should consider having policies in place that address gun violence restraining orders and the process for seeking them. 
How does someone obtain a gun violence restraining order? 
 • Forms for a GVRO from the California court system are available here.
 • Submit the form to the court 
 • You can also contact your local district attorney’s office to ask if they will assist you in filling out the forms.
 • If you or the person you want restrained is a resident of San Francisco, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office will assist you in filling out these forms if you need assistance. 
What happens after the form is filed? 
 • A judge decides whether or not to grant or deny the request at a hearing. 
How does the judge decide whether to grant the GVRO? 
 • The judge will look at evidence presented by the person asking for the GVRO, including whether the respondent has:  
    • Made threats or acts of violence against self or others within the past six months; 
    • Exhibited any pattern of violent acts or threats within the previous 12 months;
    • Violated domestic violence protective orders; or
    • Been previously convicted for any crime prohibiting the purchase and possession of firearms

• The judge may also look any other evidence to see if there’s an increased risk for violence, such as: 
    • The person’s history of violence or physical force against others
    • Unlawful and reckless use of firearms 
    • Recent acquisition of weapons 
    • Ongoing abuse of drugs or alcohol

• If there is clear and convincing evidence that the gun violence restraining order is necessary based on the evidence presented, the judge will issue the order.  
If a judge grants a restraining order, he/she can prohibit a person from the following: 
 • having a gun in his custody or control, 
 • owning a gun, 
 • purchasing a gun, 
 • possessing a gun, or 
 • receiving a firearm or ammunition. 
The judge can order the removal to last between one and five years. 
Who takes the firearms away? 
 • If the court issues the order, law enforcement may serve the order. 
 • There is no fee for law enforcement to serve the order.
 • When officers do serve the order, they are required to ask the person to relinquish any firearms they own or possess.  
 • The person is required to immediately relinquish his or her weapons to the officer. 
 • Alternatively, if a law enforcement officer does not serve the order, (if for example, it is served in court), the respondent is required to sell or temporarily transfer his or her weapons to a licensed firearms dealer or the local law enforcement agency within 24 hours of being served with the order.
Can the person get their firearms back? 
 • The person whose gun has been confiscated can ask the court to remove the order.  
 • The person can do this once a year.  
 • A judge will remove the order if he/she believes there is no longer any convincing evidence that the person is a threat. 
 • But after a court hearing, the court can extend the protective order if the person continues to pose a significant danger.

Question 19

CA and Federal CCW Laws

Accepted Answer

Below are of CA and Federal Laws regarding the caring and issuance of a CCW. This information should NOT be considered as legal advise nor does it entitle all the laws. It is YOUR responsibility to know and follow the laws of your state and other states where you want to carry a concealed firearm. Please be a responsible firearm owner and CCW holder.

While exercising the privileges granted to the licensee under the terms of CCW Permit, the licensee shall not, when carrying a concealed weapon:
• Consume any alcoholic beverage.
• Be in a place having a primary purpose of dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
• Be under the influence of any medication or drug, whether prescribed or not.
• Refuse to show the license or surrender the concealed weapon to any peace officer upon demand.
• Impede any peace officer in the performance of his/her duties.
• Present himself/herself as a peace officer to any person unless he/she is, in fact, a peace officer as defined by California law.
• Unjustifiably display a concealed weapon.
• Carry a concealed weapon not listed on the permit.
• Carry a concealed weapon at times or circumstances other than those specified in the permit.

Title 49, section 46505 of the United States Code states that a license to carry a concealed weapon does not authorize a person to carry a firearm, tear gas, or any dangerous weapon aboard commercial airlines. Further, a person must declare that he/she is carrying such firearm, tear gas, or any dangerous weapon BEFORE entering the boarding area of an air terminal where the security checks are made. Such violation can result in arrest by law enforcement.
Any violation of these restrictions or conditions may invalidate the CCW license and may void any further use of the license until reinstated by the licensing authority. Any arrest for a felony or serious misdemeanor, including driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, is cause for invalidating the license.
Applicable California Penal Code Sections 
The following Penal Code sections are of special importance to the holder of a CCW license regarding the use, carrying, and storage of firearms:

Question 20

What is the hardest state to get a CCW in?

However, reciprocity varies, meaning which other states honor your home state (or non-resident state) CCW. For more information, read our Q&A on why to have a Multi-State CCW. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us at info@nationwideccw.com.

Question 21

How much is a CCW course in California?

Accepted Answer

Some are as cheapest (as our courses) that start from under $200 (no hidden fees, one flat fee) to as much as nearly $1000. Do your own research and find out the cost and availability of the their courses. But, just remember that many are on weekdays which means you need to take 1-2 days off from work can can cost you several hundred dollars more.

Question 22

What is the easiest state to get a CCW?

Accepted Answer

Since Supreme Courts Bruen decision in 2022, all the states are equal in issuing a CCW permit. However, some states, such as Florida, Arizona, Utah non-resident CCW permit are easier to get because you dont have to be present or get the training in that particular state and having these additional CCW non-resident permits, will allow you to carry in more states with the reciprocity. However, the reciprocity varies by state and some reciprocity are for that particular states "residents" only. Please be sure to do you do diligence and check the visiting states DOJ reciprocity to see if you permit is honored in that state.

Question 23

For more details, visit our website or contact us at info@nationwideccw.com.

Question 24

Why you should have more than one firearm on your CCW permit?

Accepted Answer

At Nationwide CCW, we highly recommend having more than one firearm on your CCW permit for several reasons: 1. If your firearm is discharged and used, it will be confiscated as evidence, leaving you without a firearm to carry. 2. Firearms, even new ones, can malfunction and may need repairs, during which you won't have a firearm to carry. 3. You need a firearm safe in your vehicle at all times because there will be places where you cannot legally carry. If your firearm is stolen, you will be left without a firearm to carry. This information is provided for educational purposes and should not be taken as legal advice.

Question 25

Should i purchase CCW insurance? And which is the Best CCW legal defense insurance

Accepted Answer

Do i need to purchase a legal defense insurance? This is a question that most CCW holders ask.

First, we like to say that these services are commonly called "legal defense insurance" and NOT a CCW insurance. Anyone who has taken our CCW course knows that we cover this topic extensively and we go over many of them. In our opinion, if you own firearm(s) you should and NEED to purchase egal defense insurance. Why? no matter what the outcome, if you use your firearm even in you own home, you are looking at the fact of getting arrested and need to post bail until the investigation is complete. Which means, either way, you will need legal representation and having to post bail.

If you live in states such as California, you would need not just criminal and civil liability defense insurance but also gun violence restraining order (GVRO's or TRO). In either of these cases you would need t surrender all you firearms and ammunition and you will need legal representation in these cases also.

This is why we recommend the following legal defense insurances. The both cover criminal, civil and reg flag laws. And the first one, when signing up for the recommended plan, will also cover you spouse and civil liabilities and $1.5 million dollar in civil liabilities. We strongly recommend you look into these plans and choose one that best suits your needs.

Each license type will be valid for the period of time and subject to the geographical restrictions (if any) corresponding with that type of license as outlined in Penal Code section 26220.
