I have a permit to Carry a Concealed Weapon (CCW). Where can I transport a handgun that would otherwise be prohibited?
An easier question would be “Where can’t one CCW?” California law is actually quite permissive once one has obtained a CCW. It’s important to note that California does not recognize any CCW permit issued by other states. Assuming there are no other restrictions printed on the permit and the permit is valid in California one may carry everywhere except: • Federal law/regulation: • • On post office property, including the parking lot and grounds, even if it is in a locked container[39 CFR 232.1] • Federal courthouse.[TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930 Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities] • Sterile area of an airport [49 CFR 1540.111(a)] • Federal facilities [TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930 Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities] • Social Security Administration offices • US Military Installations • State law/regulation: • • Courthouse when you are a party to an action pending before the court [PC 171b(b)(2)(B)] • Famil
