Question Can a PR Resident who lives part-time in FL get a FL non-Resident CWL?

Hi -
Have doubts and a question concerning FL non-resident Concealed Weapon license (CWL).
What I have read indicates a non-resident of FL is eligible as long as one is a US Citizen, and also is a "US Resident".
I spend about half of my time in FL, and half on my time in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where I am currently a legal resident. I am a US Citizen.
My question is: Anyone know if under the FL law a San Juan, PR resident is considered a "US Resident" and therefore can be eligible for the CWL permit, with all other things being met?
Or, are PR residents not considered US Residents by FL law, although PR is part of the US.
I own a car, a motorhome, and a motorcycle in FL. We are planning to go on a cross-country trip on the motorhome this year and would feel more secure traveling with a firearm on board, and would like the benefits the FL-CWL provides, especially as it allows one to be legal in 29 or 30 states.
I have called the licesing office for days on end and cannot get through - answering machine puts you on an hour long wait and never gets you to a real person that can answer me.
Called some of the Concealed Weapons classes instructors in FL and some have said yes - you qualify, and others, say no. Do not want to go through the course and application process if not eligible.

Does anyone have any experience with something like this, or know where or who to call?
Thanks

Last time I checked Puerto Rico was and is Part of the U.S.A.!!!!!
That's why you are a U.S. citizen.
So you should be able to get a NON-Resident CCW permit.
