Thanks for the info, Lonewolf2810.

You can carry two handguns. The law allows it and it is often a good idea based on need. In open carry situations you start to get close to violation the Common Law of Going Armed to the Terror of the Public.

I believe he is referring to the purchase permit. A permit to purchase from the sheriff is only good for one gun. For instance, you couldn't go get one permit to purchase then buy three guns. You would have to get three permits to purchase three guns.

The law really isn't clear. A good prosecutor would argue that the permits allows you to carry "a" concealed weapon, "a" being used in the singular, in this case.

Personally, I don't see the big deal. I would think if you are trusted enough to carry one, you should be trusted enough to carry as many as you want.

In Florida, there is no limit...if you have a CCW permit, you can carry more than one gun. I don't know why anyone would want to carry more than two, but...

I carry two most of the time, an XD-40 and a Kel-Tec P-11, both with an extra mag. I consider myself "well-armed" and I also carry a Gerber knife.

No, the instructor (retired Sanford Police Captain) was not talking about the purchase permit. He was specifically talking about the CC permit. He even gave the example of the "a" clause that you have given.

Well, I dunno. I only carry one just because I don't personally see the need. But I wouldn't begrudge anyone who wanted to carry more than one. Like I said, if big brother trusts you enough to let you carry one, then you should be trusted enough to carry two, or three, or .....

Let's see... Glock on the right hip, Beretta in a shoulder holster, .32 on the ankle, .22 in a wallet holster, .22 in a belt-buckle pistol, .45 on left hip cross-draw style, derringer in a shoe with a removable heel, .22 "ink pen" single shot in the breast pocket...
