Concealed Carry Permits.  The process is easier than you think.

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, Penal Code Sections 26150, 26155, and 26170 provide that the Chief of Police for the Walnut Creek Police Department issue or renew a license to carry a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person (CCW license) when the below criteria are met and after a detailed background investigation is satisfactorily completed. Based on the detailed background check required, these investigations may take multiple weeks so processing times can vary. Please read the following information in its entirety for further information about how to obtain a CCW license through the Walnut Creek Police Department.

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