Non-resident process

[capo2186]

Hey guys,

Do you need a CCW permit from another state in order to get a non-resident permit in Florida?

I have a Class B LTC in Massachusetts which does not allow me to carry. If I were to apply for a non-resident permit in Florida would they deny me because of that? I am not sure of the process in Florida, and to be honest I did not really read through the Florida forum (sorry if this is a repeat issue).

Can you guys offer any advice? Thanks and have an awesome day!

Thanks,
Capo

You don't really need to have a license to get a Florida permit, you just need your NRA certificate or other proof of taking a safety course

just apply from the Florida site and your permit will be in your hands in a few weeks.

What town issued you the Class B?

Actually, the only states I'm aware of that require a nonresident to have a permit from some other state are New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.

Danvers gave me the Class B LTC

I am going to apply for the Florida Non-Res permit. I just got all the paper work in the mail so I will fill that out and send it out. I have taken a pistol class here in Massachusetts, as well as a hunter safety course. These will be sufficient right?

They should.

Just as long as you know it won't be worth jack in MA.

Oh I am aware of this. I just want to be able to actually carry when I go to Florida. I travel there alot actually.

I was just nervous because I didn't want to be denied there. How long is a non-res good for there?

No.

A copy of your CCW instruction certificate will work. I had nonresident Nevada and Utah permits before I applied for the Florida CWP. I could have used the CCW instruction certificiate, but I decided to use my Hunter Safety Certificate, which I found buried in a drawer. It was faded, but I was able to make a decent copy. It was dated 1978. I can't believe it has been 30 years. Needless to say, it worked.
