There are two major types of licenses:

Carrying – This kind of license is typical for hand guns or other weapons for self defence and for sporting weapon. The owner of a carrying license can transport his weapon to where ever he goes.

Possession – This kind of license is typical for Inheritance/ Memento weapons. The owner must keep the weapon in one place (home, office etc.) at all times and can move it only for renewing the license.

There are no restrictions on how to carry a weapon, it can be concealed or exposed. There are also few places where the law prohibits a person from carrying a gun: The Knesset (Israel's parliament), the Supreme Court, the president resident, government offices and all other courts. In all of these places, the owner is required to deposit their gun. It will be put in a locker with two keys: one for the owner and one to remain with the security personal.

Other organizations, public and private, may put additional restrictions on the owner visiting their location ranging from a demand to present a valid license up to demanding similar storage of the weapon. In the last case they must use the locker system like the official bodies.

Of course, any private person can deny access to his home or business to any person carrying a weapon.
