How It Works

A 60-second eligibility check, then a clear next step.

GoConcealedCarry is an informational site that helps you understand whether you meet the standard requirements to apply for a concealed carry permit in your state.

  1. 1

    Answer 5 short questions

    We ask for your ZIP code, then four eligibility questions covering citizenship, age, prohibited-person status under federal law, and training.

  2. 2

    We match answers to your state's baseline rules

    We use your ZIP to identify your state, then compare your answers against publicly available eligibility criteria for that state.

  3. 3

    See your result and, if eligible, a partner next step

    If you appear eligible, we show state-specific processing information and connect you with Rush Permit, our advertising partner, for training and application preparation.

What we are not: GoConcealedCarry is not a government agency and does not issue permits. Only your state or local authority can issue a concealed carry permit.
