Concealed Weapons Permit Information
At this time the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department is only allowing THREE firearms to be listed on a CCW permit. Per statute that became law in January 2017 the California Department of Justice must convene a committee to develop a standardized CCW ID/Permit. It is unknown at this time whether that ID card will afford space to list firearms or not, so at this time the old CCW paper permit is still being utilized.
