Terms of use

What this website is

Permit Atlas is an independent informational and referral resource covering general concealed-carry and firearm licensing requirements by state. We are not a government agency, a law firm, a licensing authority, or a firearms dealer.

What this website does not do

We do not issue permits or licenses, accept or process applications, expedite anything, or make official eligibility determinations. We do not provide legal advice, and using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. We do not sell firearms, ammunition, firearm components, or firearm accessories.

Information is general and may be out of date

Firearm and concealed-carry laws vary by state and change frequently, sometimes with immediate effect. Content on this site is general in nature, may be incomplete, and may not reflect the most current law. State pages marked “pending review” have not yet been verified against authoritative sources. Always confirm current requirements with the appropriate government authority before applying or acting.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including rules about where and how a firearm may be possessed or carried. You agree not to misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt it, scrape it at a volume that degrades service, or reproduce its content as your own.

Third-party links

Where a provider is available, this site links to independent third-party websites. Those sites are operated by others under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control them, do not guarantee their services or outcomes, and are not responsible for their content, pricing, or conduct. Any transaction or submission you make with a provider is between you and that provider.

No guarantee of outcome

Nothing on this site is a promise that a permit will be issued, that an application will be approved, or that any person qualifies. Eligibility and approval depend on applicable law and individual circumstances, and are decided by the relevant government authority.

Intellectual property

The design, text, and graphics on this site are owned by the site operator or used with permission, except for statutory text and agency material, which remains the property of its source. You may link to and quote short portions with attribution.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of the site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with a third-party provider.
