SLED reports more than 492,000 active concealed-weapons permits and explains revocations
Summary
SLED told the subcommittee there are over 492,000 active concealed-weapons permits; presenters described revocation and denial processes, saying revocation can follow a qualifying charge and denials occur when prohibiting charges appear on applicants' records.
Major Douglas Mazique told the subcommittee, "As of yesterday, we have over 492,000 CW holders, active CWP permits." He supplied year-over-year context and said the office handled a high volume of applications and renewals.
On revocations, Mazique explained the statutory standard: a revocation can occur when a person is charged with a disqualifying offense. "People think you have to be convicted," he said, and clarified that under state practice a qualifying charge can trigger revocation or administrative action pending resolution. He said the unit recorded approximately 1,400 revocations in 2025 and denied over 1,000 applications last year, with 125 denials year-to-date.
Committee members followed up about online renewals and the efficiency of the new CWP system. Captain Kuquila Wallace said the updated system was designed to make the applicant experience more user-friendly and to speed internal processing.
