Visiting Law Enforcement Carry

[specialistk9usa]

Get a carry permit from another state that Florida recognizes?

It's nice that you are in a privileged class of human beings. Commoners who are not citizens of the US must be here on an immigrant type visa and maintain 90 days continuous residency in the same state before legally purchasing a firearm here.

The rules on non-immigrants are the same in ALL states. I do also meet the 90 day rule.

You already went to all those 'Official' agencies and they can't help you?

Then you come here for help?

Now that's just funny. I feel for you but if you start listening to folks here, your head will be spinning more than you ever feared it would. :):):)

Now that is just part of the irony. I was hoping that maybe someone here had come across this before.

Especially considering how many people on this forum will tell you to ask your local LEO agency if you have a legal question! :-)

What country are you a law enforcement officer in? If you can say, that is...

You know, Navy...you are a generally good guy with whom I normally agree.

However, I have some trouble understanding the resentment aimed at the OP because congress chose to exempt one group from some of the more onerous and (IMO) unconstitutional regulations that have been imposed over the past 75 or so years.

We did not pass those regulations...or even our exemption to them and I really think you would be better served aiming your resentment at congress.

I also would like to mention (as a former Army NCO) that you belong to a group that benefits from a few privileges not afforded those not holding a commission...

Will your embassy give you consular security status?

Nope. Already tried that.

Not all states are created equal... Sounds like the state of florida has failed here. Do update us if you get this sorted out in case this comes up again.

If state department doesnt care whether you carry or not then contact florida attorney generals office, its their call I would think. Remember, its about asking the right question. Dont ask about a CCW permit, ask as a foreign LEO can I carry in your state. If they say yes, ask for it in writing. Thats where I would go with it.

Took your advice, which turned out to be solid gold :) You were absolutely right, it's all about the question you ask.

Problem solved. Many thanks
