Learning the laws regulating the use of firearms is a must for responsible ownership. Local regulations differ and laws vary from state to state. Citizens must check with the jurisdiction where the firearm is to be used.

In California, a municipal police department like the Concord Police Department, is required to follow strict state law when performing the necessary background checks for issuing Concealed Carry Weapon licenses. Due to the involved legalities, processing time may take several weeks. An applicant will need to schedule an interview with their assigned background investigator, and submit Livescan fingerprints.

If the applicant is RENEWING a Concealed Carry Weapon license in the city of Concord, they may not apply until 60 days before the expiration date listed on their current Concealed Carry Weapon license.
