Yep. Let mie lapse for a while, but then renewed again in 2013.

Yep, Here in Virginia we have a :
Concealed
Handgun
Permit AKA: CHP.

Yes, and here it's called a CPL:
Concealed Pistol License

Here in Georgia it is officially called a WCL (Weapons Carry License) because you have to have it not only for concealed carry but for open carry too. And it includes knives.

But in practice it is called all sorts of things..."Carry license" "Weapons Permit" "CCW" etc.

I have had a Connecticut CCW since 1980, and a VA CCW for 20+ years. Daily carry, depending on time of year and attire, is one of the following; S&W 640 carried OWB or pocket (.357 Mag), S&W Shield 9mm carried IWB or a DW CBOB in 45 auto. With the revolver it is stoked with 125 gr .Hornady HST with two speed strips with .38 Spcl 125 +p, Shield is carried with HST +p 124gr with at least 1 spare Mag and the CBOB 230 gr +p HST. The CBOB is carried IWB or OWB with two spare mags.
