I went through these guys http://safeccw.com/. If you take their course and pay an extra 25 bucks they will help you fill out the app, have it notarized, and they bring in a police officer to get your fingerprints for the FL Permit. You send the FL app packet, fngerprint card, a training certificate (same course requirements as OH CHL), and 117 bucks to FL and within three weeks or so you get the license. It expires every seven years and can be renewed by mail.
