Apply for a permit to carry a concealed weapon

The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office has modified its policies and practices in light of the recent United States Supreme Court decision that found unconstitutional New York’s “proper cause” requirement for issuance of a concealed weapons license, including elimination of the requirement that an applicant prove good cause exists for issuance of the license. To continue our commitment to keep our community safe, we will investigate each applicant’s background, residency and/or employment, and criminal history and require a psychological evaluation, before deciding whether to approve the application. The Sheriff’s Office will issue concealed weapons licenses only to law abiding responsible citizens. We will also continue to require that any approved applicant complete firearms safety and qualifications training prior to issuing the license.
