Do the firearms listed on my CCW have to be associated to me in my Automated Firearms System (AFS) record (i.e. do they have to be "registered" to me or recorded in my name)?

Yes.  CCW applicants shall have an AFS record which associates the weapon(s) to be listed on a CCW License to the applicant, as the applicant needs to be recorded as the owner of the firearm.
