Where do you keep your permit card?

I was curious where everyone keeps their CCW permit card.

I'm assuming most keep it in their wallet, but it was mentioned to me if you had your wallet stolen, then now the thief knows you have firearms in your car or at home. Good point I guess. Or, maybe that will make them give your wallet back, lol. :LOL:

Anyone carrying it separately from your wallet or anywhere else you've found to be useful or handy—especially those of you who don't always have your wallets with you?

Tough crowd today OP for sure. ;)

I've seen this asked on other forums and some guys carry their CCW permit on a beaded chain around their neck tucked in to avoid reaching around for a wallet and exposing your conceal carry. I keep mine in my wallet though.

I do however keep my registration and proof of insurance in a sun visor pocket. I have my 3 sons do the same. That way when and if you get pulled over you do not need to reach for anything (again exposing) to get to your glove box or console.

Be safe out there.

I carry my gun in my left front pocket (I do not recommend this for right handed shooters 😇 ) my wallet with my CCW card in my right front pocket.
OP my question is when don't you have your wallet? Swimming, doing a pole dance for your mistress, sleeping, taking a shower, in the hospital, being arrested that's all I can think of.
 
I keep mine in my underwear behind my nuttsack. If the officer were ever to ask for it I will interlock my fingers behind my head and say, “Officer, I am uncomfortable reaching into my waistband to retrieve my card for my safety; you however are welcome to retrieve it yourself…”

“…All I ask is that you maintain eye contact.”
 
keeping the card attached to the gun so you can easily give them both to the cop quickly as possible is the only sensible option

@dvoncock esquire, would prison pocket carry be a valid and legal method of carrying your CCW license in the state of California? lmao
 
Magpul DAKA Everyday in the back right pocket. Now that I've moved medical to AIWB I'm considering carrying wallet in my front right!

I can’t for the life of me think why not, legally speaking. But if your CCW card’s in your prison pocket, where’re you supposed to keep your spare mags????

What a great point. Someone suggested taping the license to your CCW gun so you can easily hand both to the officer.
