What is your State official name for it's CCL ?

Oh, come on Pahoo. It is the Iowa License to Protect the Innocent and Shoot the Bad Guys (or something like that.) ;) Also known by its label: "Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons" according to a sheriff I saw on the news.

Question for those whose license/permit uses the word "weapon" or "weapons":

I know that the Florida permit allows the concealed carry of firearms, knives, and (I believe) other "weapons." For the others that use the 'W' word -- does the license or permit allow only the concealed carry of firearms, or does it also allow for the concealed carry of other weapons (such as knives with blades longer than [___] inches?
 
Sevens I understand your position and respect your passion. With that said, by definition a license is permission given by an authority. With all due respect, your take isn't popular because it is wrong. With your license you are permitted to LEGALLY carry a concealed weapon. Ain't any other way of spinning it.
 
I think the fact that some states call it a "license" while others call it a "permit" pretty well establishes that there isn't any function difference between the two terms. It certainly isn't a regulation. The various states regulate the carry of firearms but, except for the five or so that now allow permitless carry, you can't even crack the regulation book until you have first obtained the license/permit to carry. Only then can you legally subject yourself to the applicable regulations.

Of course, that's not the way it's supposed to be. Many states' constitutions "guarantee" a right to keep and bear arms. I don't agree that a constitutionally guaranteed right can be subject to a licensing requirement, but the courts haven't consulted me on the matter.
 
New Mexico calls it a "Concealed Handgun License" on the card issued to you, and then refers to the license number as the "CCW License #" on the card.

By State Law, the license confers the right to carry other "deadly weapons." State Law gives the following prohibition on carrying a deadly weapon; and then gives a number of exceptions such as carrying on private property, in a vehicle, and if you have a concealed carry license.

So, in the State of New Mexico the license is really a "concealed carry weapon" license that includes handguns.


State Law § 30-7-2. Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon

A. Unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon consists of carrying a concealed loaded firearm or any other type of deadly weapon anywhere, except in the following cases:

(5) by a person in possession of a valid concealed handgun license issued to him by the department of public safety pursuant to the provisions of the Concealed Handgun Carry Act [2919-1 NMSA 1978].

Texas is called a CHL, and for some odd reason mine says "Veteran" in big red letters.
I forget what Washington's is called
 
AFAIK, the wording of the Arizona permit allows you carry any (legal) weapon concealed, be it a knife, machete, switchblade, sawed off, machine gun, what have you. As long as they are in compliance with the law(s).
 
Only a handgun is legal to carry in Illinois. Stun guns, tasers, batons, blackjacks, knives over 3.5", or any other weapons are not allowed.
 
In New Hampshire it's a "Pistol/Revolver License" - required for concealed carry or carry in a vehicle. Open carry needs no license.
 
In California it's a License to Carry a Concealed Weapon (CCW).

However in my county it's known as unicorn tears, at least until the courts stop sitting on the Perulta case.
 
Mine is a Utah "Concealed Firearm Permit"

Good for one concealed firearm, but not limited by type (rifle, pistol, shotgun, etc).
