I think the best thing you can do while waiting for a permit is to go check out gun shops and shooting ranges in your area. Find a shop you like and start shooting the rented guns they have. This way when the permit comes in you will already know what shops you like and what type of gun your interested in.

you need to go buy this book and read it from front to back. Then re-read it. This is the best source for all handgun laws in the state.

Been there done that & bought the shirt as they say. I found and bought a Bresa 380 for my carry. I went to the range a time or two to try it out. I have even gone so far as to wear it around the house (unloaded of course)to get the feel of it.:o I tried to get the range recommended instructor to give me a handleing lesson. But he is to busy so I am still looking for someone else.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time (and cash) at the range. You need to become very familiar with the firearm that you choose to carry. You really need to become comfortable with the feel, function and reliability of the gun. Remember to 3 rules, the law, and get yourself into the right mindset for concealed carry.

Also for what its worth, as a fellow Floridian, try a hybrid holster, love mine! :)

Not sure where you are located but I can strongly recommend this group (no affiliation other than a past student) out of Gainesville. I took their basic pistol and defensive handgun courses:

Good luck and stay safe!
