If you are considering obtaining a concealed weapons permit, or license to carry you may come across a variety of acronyms that can be confusing if you are not familiar with them. CWP, CCL, CCP, and LTC are four such acronyms that may be used in the context of concealed carry licenses. In this blog post, we will discuss the differences between these four terms and provide a brief overview of what they stand for.

• CWP: Concealed Weapon Permit – A Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP), also known as a concealed carry permit or a concealed handgun license, allows an individual to carry a concealed handgun in public. CWPs are issued by state governments and typically require an application process that includes a background check and training requirements. The state of Florida uses the term CWP.

• CCL: Concealed Carry License – A Concealed Carry License (CCL) is another term that may be used to refer to a permit that allows an individual to carry a concealed handgun in public. The term CCL may be used interchangeably with CWP in some states.

• CCP: Concealed Carry Permit – Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) is another term that may be used to refer to a permit that allows an individual to carry a concealed handgun in public. The term CCP may be used interchangeably with CWP or CCL in some states.

• LTC: License To Carry – License To Carry (LTC) is another term that may be used to refer to a permit that allows an individual to carry a concealed handgun in public. The term LTC may be used interchangeably with CWP, CCL, or CCP in some states.

In summary, CWP, CCL, CCP, and LTC are four acronyms that are commonly used in the context of concealed carry licenses. These acronyms refer to permits that allow individuals to carry concealed handguns in public and may be used interchangeably in different states.
