Florida CCW in Wisconsin?

[Raybo]

Sounds like a Florida non-resident carry permit would fit the bill. Go to one of their service centers with the proper docs and you can walk in and out with a FL permit for under $120. Same cost if you do it by mail: Submitting a Concealed Weapon Application at a Regional Office - Division of Licensing, FDACS

One point of eligibility off the application:

"Applicant is a Wisconsin resident as indicated by a current and valid Wisconsin driver license or identification card." http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/...tion-11-11.pdf

I have the opposite problem as you. I live in Wisconsin but travel to Florida regularly.

I am a resident of Wisconsin and have a Wisconsin and a non-resident Florida permit. You can get the Florida permit over the mail. You will need to get finger printed at a Sheriff station.

Just received this response from AZ:

to me
RECENT CHANGE IN ARIZONA LAW - Senate Bill 1108

Effective July 29, 2010, Arizona is now a constitutional carry state, which means everyone can carry concealed without a permit in Arizona, if it is not posted otherwise. You must be 21 years old and not a prohibited possessor under state or federal law.

With that new law, we will be implementing new procedures and rules allowing other firearm training courses (including military training, any NRA firearms class, and some other states permits) in place of the 8hr CCW course previously required.

You have to provide proof of firearms training. Below is the full list of alternate documents we can accept.

I will be in Florida in February. I'll probably to the application in person. It would have been nice to no have to pay any app fees though.

I have the opposite problem as you. I live in Wisconsin but travel to Florida regularly.

Florida does NOT accept any non-resident license from any state. So, Wisconsin residents will need to get a Florida non-resident license in order to be able to carry in Florida.

Actually Florida's license may be a better non-resident license to get, since it is accepted by more states than Utah's license.

You can get a non-resident Fla CCW that would work for travel also

If you might be traveling to Minnesota keep in mind Minnesota does not have reciprocity with Florida. Myabe consider a Minnesota Non-Resident permit. You will have to apply in person at any sheriff's office, Ramsey County (St. Paul) has about a 20 day turn around time
