I've never been to Florida, so take this with a grain of salt.

I think "Gunshine State" is a term thought up by the Brady group and other gun banners.
Sunshine State is a well known alternate name for Florida.
They called it gunshine state to prevent concealed carry from being legalized.
Wasn't this the original "You can't do that, there will be blood in the streets" state?

IIRC, Florida started the modern shall issue CWP landslide.

You might as well say NFA is impossible unless you get a trust or have one of the few CLEO's that will actually sign off.

protip if you have not sent it in yet.

go to the office and do it all there vs. mailing it off.

I got my permit back in the mailbox in 6 days flat. My buddy mailed his packet in and waited almost 4 months.

This.

Florida is Shall issue for both resident and non-resident.

No constitutional carry, but FL was way ahead of the curve on concealed carry.

Reciprocity for resident and non-resident permits are very good (with resident picking up a few more states over non).

The FL CWP is so popular that the Florida Dept. of Agriculture (that manages the CWP program) can't keep up with demand and has instituted new submission methods to streamline the process.

Combine the above with a well established Castle Doctrine, and being NFA friendly and you get a very gun friendly state in most of the key areas.

Additionally there is legislation in motion for the next session for both Open Carry and Campus Carry (for CWP holders).  Hopefully those pass and we move closer to the constitutional carry motherland.

Hopefully we'll have open carry and campus carry in a few months.

Maybe because there's a "gun show" within driving distance almost every weekend?

It took me 10 minutes to renew my CWFL for another seven years. Besides, open carry removes the element of a surprised face on the bad guy.

I just renewed my license last month and did everything at the Ft. Walton office.  Card was issued after answering a few questions and having a new pic taken,  was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Card issued same day.

that's for sure.  my wife and i moved here from oklahoma where we do have open carry, shall sign for nfa, and no waiting periods, castle doctrine, stand your ground, etc.  i just find it strange that a state that prides itself on firearms ownership that its still fairly restrictive in certain areas.

Mickey Mouse doesn't have a home base in Oklahoma.

The tourism industry provides a significant pushback against gun rights here. Democrat strongholds like Miami and Orlando do the same.
