What's CCW?
Shall issue Concealed Carry Weapons permit. Here in Tennessee all you have to do to legally pack a handgun is provide your address and fingerprints, prove you're not a convicted felon or domestic abuser and have not been adjudged mentally ill, and take and pass a course in gun safety and the law of self defense. If you pass the course the state's required to issue you a carry permit that's good for four years and can be renewed every four years thereafter for $50.00. About 35 other states in the U.S. have similar laws. They've had a wonderful impact on reducing violent crime.
