Default Visit Florida office to save time on concealed weapons permits

Officials say qualified individuals can shorten the time it takes to get a concealed weapon license by visiting one of eight licensing division regional offices.

Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson said Monday that he is trying to relieve congestion caused by an unprecedented number of new applications.

Bronson estimates that applicants who apply in person can expect to receive their licenses in two to three weeks, rather than two to three months for people who mail in applications.

Default Florida CCL

I dropped my application (non-resident) in the mail when I went to Florida on September 9. One month later it issued (10/9) and I had it in my hands a few days after that.

Much quicker than the 5 months my friend had to wait last year.

Default Florida non-resident CCW

All: Be ware that there are many people out there that advertise the Florida non-resident CCW. But, if you get that permit and go to, say, Colorado that accepts Florida CCW permits, you may find yourself in jail. Colorado only accepts permits issued to a permitee who is a resident in that state. In other words, your permit would be legal in Colorado if you were a resident of Florida. If you have a Florida non-resident permit and live in New Jersey you will be locked up.

That's why its so important to use the resources here. If you click on the permit reciprocity map link under resources then on the state permit you are checking it asks if you are resident or non-resident and gives you the states where you can and cannot carry with that permit status.

Assuming anything in the concealed carry world is always a mistake... always take the time to learn the accurate answer.

Along those lines, I'm preparing a three ring binder for the car. It will include the reciprocity agreements between my non-resident permits and the states I travel to. They are available usually on the AG websites. There are LEO's out there that may not know which states are honored so at least you have something to show. Anything to avoid having to be detained.
BTW, both FL and VA took under a month for non-resident, I mailed the last week in September 09.
