Concealed Carry Weapon License  

Learning the laws regulating the use of firearms is a must for responsible ownership. Local regulations differ and laws vary from state to state. Residents applying for a CCW license must fully understand all requirements and laws related to carrying a concealed weapon in California. Please contact your legal counsel if you have any questions or need further guidance.

In California, the Sheriffs/Police Chiefs and their staff are required to follow strict state and local guidelines when performing the necessary background checks for issuing Carry Concealed Weapon licenses. Due to the detailed nature involved with conducting these background checks, appointment times and processing times can take multiple weeks or months. 

Applicants RENEWING a Carry Concealed Weapon License issued by the Pleasanton Police Department may not apply for renewal more than 90 days prior to the expiration date listed on their license.

Processing Fees:

• Additional Fees will be required for: Live Scan Fingerprinting (DOJ + vendor fees vary); Required Training (vendor fees vary); Psych Evaluation (provider fee ~ $415).

• A Service Fee and nominal credit card Transaction Fee will be charged. Charges will be viewable prior to transaction completion.
