Gun sales have soared in the first half of 2020. Of late, we are fielding a lot of questions from people who want to understand the process for obtaining a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit in the state of Wisconsin. What follows are the steps, along with some helpful tips to make the process as efficient as possible.
- Wisconsin’s issuing authority is The Department of Justice. The DOJ does not honor online concealed carry training, so people looking to pursue their permit must take a live class.
- Once you complete the class with an authorized instructor, you will get a certificate of completion.
- Next, complete the application on the Wisconsin DOJ website.
- Then send in the certificate to them with a $40 check.
- Upon receipt, the DOJ will complete a background check.
- Your license will be issued or denied in 21 days.
- If denied, there’s a 30 day appeal process.
We hope the post helps answer any questions concerning the process to obtain a CCW permit in the state of Wisconsin. Stay safe.
