Cool, that is what I wanted to hear. They said up to 90 days. That would kind of suck. |

What's the benefit of having a FL permit if you live out of state? Lots of states with reciprocal agreements?

would a copy of my SC CWP be sufficient for proof of training? |

I don't believe so. You need a DD214 from the military or a actual NRA safety class or something along those lines. Check out packing.org for the actual requirements. Edit to clarify training. FL wants actual certified safety/pistol training. All the SC "class" did for us is for legal requirements and such. I didn't receive any safety or gun handeling training when I went through my CWP class. |

Florida requires NRA training course or approved hunter safety course. DD214 counts as well.
I got mine before electronic prints were done. Took nearly 75 days. |

That is how I read it as well. I had to take the NRA course for my Ohio CCW anyways. Anyone know if Utah still gives a non-resident CCW? |

He's in law school and doesn't have time for it from what I understand. May be that when he graduates he'll re-open and might be the reason he didn't sell it. For now you can try Handgunlaws it's been staying up to date. You can see the last time it was updated at the top of the page. |

Anyone know if Utah still gives a non-resident CCW? Edit: ^ That's a quote that didn't come out right. I just took a training course six days ago. I can apply for FL non-res, UT non-res, or MO resident. The Utah one is $65, good for 5 years, $10 renewal. Missouri is $100, good for 3 years, $50 renewal. Of course I was going to apply for the Utah, but then the instructor said it will be a 3 to 6 month wait. They are supposed to turn them around in 60 days but apparently they're backlogged because of popularity. |

Alabama has a reciprocal agreement with Florida and quiet a few other states, I don't remember all of them, I know it's in the home town forum. Reading all this makes me feel good about our pistol permit (CCW) costs and reciprocal agreements. In Jefferson County it costs $7 a year. I think the County Sheriff sets the cost. You get it in your County but it covers the entire state. |

The only difference you'll see is the address on the permit. Other than that they are identical. There really is no such thing as a non-resident permit. It's a Florida permit, issued to someone that has a non-Florida address. |

I have the Florida Permit which I've renewed various times I know its good in a couple of states besides Florida My question is how many more permits do I need to get to cover the fifty states and can these be obtained through the mail ?

You will never get enough permits to cover all 50 states, as IL and WI do not issue permits, resident or otherwise. NJ Issues, but only to the well politically connected types, and even then they will not honor any other state issued permits. Hell the NJSP have been known to detain federal agents when it is discovered they are carrying firearms. So the way I see it, the only way to be covered in all 50 states is to get a job with one of the alphabet soup agencies. |

I think you can max out at like 42 states, and that is if you live in a banned state like NY or NJ and have a valid permit and then apply for all the non-resident permits you can. You can not get a IL, WI, and HI permit for sure. |

Would a current form showing I'm currently qualified with a pistol in the USCG be good enough?
CG-3029 (Small Arms Record Firing Report) is good enough for TX, what about FL? ETA: Whoops, just checked. Apparently FL accepts a copy of my .mil ID, I don't even need to be currently qualified on a pistol! (even though I am) |

Could you even do that? Because I was looking at some state reciprocity and saw some say that they honor other state's permits as long as you're a resident. So although Michigan honors Florida permits, it does not honor a Florida permit if you're not a Florida resident. |

I also just applied for a Florida non-resident CCW. Reasons not to get a Missouri CCW: 1. They don’t except Military training have to pay $60 to $100 for a course. 2. Your permit goes on your driving record. You get pulled over the cop runs your licenses and it comes up you are CCW. 3. Good for only 3 years. I love my state but I’ve got far more training in Pistols in the military then I will ever get in a course on CCW. I don’t want every cop who looks at my driving records to know I have a permit. Not cop bashing it is based on a need to know they don’t need to know. |

I think MI is one of the few that works their system that way. You could get a MI permit which would be valid in 35 states. Then get the Florida permit which would add nothing because they are honored in the exact same states. Get the Utah permit and you add 1 more state. So you can only max out at 36 states. ETA - With my Ohio permit I am good in 25 states, add the Florida permit and I am now good in 35 states, add the Utah permit and I am good in 36 states. Also, GO BUCKEYES!!!

Thats more accurate. I have a FL address but I am not a resident - as already noted MI and few other states can get shitty on that distinction. I hafta say FL keeps looking more and more appealing (from a residency standpoint) as I get older. Luck Alac |

My local PD didnt fill out one box on my finger print card. I got the card back in the mail from FL dept of ag with it highlighted. It took them 3 weeks to get it back to me. It has been almost 3 weeks since I mailed it back completed. I am looking to see my permit any day now... hopefully.
In retrospect, I wish they could have simply called me and asked who did my finger printing. I didn't even need to go back to the PD, the instructions said I could fill it out myself if it was a law enforcement office who did the finger printing. |
