On things disallowed CCW- check the IA's Policy document. If you call or email them and ask- you might prompt them to create more policy.

Read the current thread regarding modifications on your CCW. This is LAPD. You have no issues.

 

[Gawernator]

Yes.

Wouldn’t you be more confident in relying on an answer from your actual IA than something you get from random strangers on the internet? Why not call your IA and find out for sure?

Better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission in this case. No reason to contact them about a rule that doesn’t exist and give them a reason to make more rules. Not sure why people are even confused when there’s a literal CCW policy document you can read. It’s pretty cut and dry.

Fair enough. I’ll amend the second sentence to say: Why not call read your IA’s actual written policies and find out for sure?
