I hadn't heard of any recent changes. The last I heard was that Florida both recognized Ohio CCW license, and would issue one to Ohio residents in Florida.

Checking...

This is from the Florida CCW application:

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

• You must be 21 years of age or older.

• You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident alien with supporting documentation as provided in

Question 5.

• You must have received firearms training as described in Question 6.

• You must not be ineligible based upon a disqualifying condition as specified in Questions 7 through 16 of the application.

• You must desire a Concealed Weapon or Firearm License for the purpose of lawful self-defense.

Any US citizen can apply for a Florida CCW permit.

you are right tom........ i always thought florida wasnt. i just checked my little ccw wallet card and sure enought its on there. i guess thats what happens when i assume

Florida is different than other states, in that Florida requires the "other" state to honor the Florida CCW permit, if the "other" is honored in Florida. Works, but a bit strange when dealing with places like Alaska and Vermont, which have no regulations one way or the other. Alaska allows OC and CCW with no laws. Alaska passed a law related to Florida, just for Florida.

yeah its kinda confusing? but still you can send florida 30 bucks and a copy of your permit here and they will send you one of theirs

Alaska had a permit system in place for a long time, and last I checked, kept it in place despite not being required for that very situation.

the ccw reciprocity is constantly changing... when i would go on vacation a few years back, there were states that I could legally carry in, but now can not. depending on the next elections for governor, i am sure the reciprocity maps will change again. just keep an eye on the attorney general's website for any changes.

I got pulled over in Coco Beach a few weeks back and announced to the officer that I had a permit, and was carrying a loaded gun. He said, "ok, I just need to see your license and registration." Ended up getting a warning for going 55 in a 35 zone. : )
