CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMITS
The Marin County Sheriff's Office will fairly and impartially consider all applications to carry firearms in accordance with applicable law and this policy.
Per the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, requiring an applicant to establish ‘good cause’ to get a carry permit is unconstitutional. To comply with the ruling, we will no longer enforce this requirement or require applicants to demonstrate good cause to qualify for a license to carry a firearm.
Prior to submitting your application, please check your address at: http://gis.marinpublic.com/lookup/JurisdictionLookup/default.aspx.
If your address is within unincorporated Marin County, you can submit your CCW application with the Marin County Sheriff’s Office. If your address is within the city limits, you will need to submit your CCW application with the local municipality in which you live.
