There’s a boatload of new laws going into effect each and every day of the week with ramifications that could make a big difference in your life.
NEW RULES PEOPLE!
Laws are constantly in flux, so it’s best to stay current, especially if you tend to move around much… as in, crossing state lines on a regular basis.

Know the difference or prepare to pay the penalty.

Read the fine print. Make sure the info you’re gleaning is current and accurate.
State Police
State police issue permits in some states, others, no.

County Sheriff
Some states issue CCW permits via the sheriff’s agency. While state laws obviously apply, there will most likely be additional counties and municipalities with supplemental rules and regulations.
And what did we learn, class?
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Know the laws of the states that you regularly enter and/or pass through.
Ignorance is not a defense!
The team at iconcealed.com must stress the basic truth that all CCW holders should abide by…
Here it is… if you consider yourself a responsible gun owner, then research is a must!
