How to Get Your Concealed Carry Permit
The process for obtaining a concealed weapons permit in Florida is surprisingly simple. As long as you meet a few minimum requirements, the state is required to issue you a permit. However, there are some individuals who are prohibited from obtaining a permit under the law.
Who is Allowed to Have a Permit?
To apply for a concealed weapons permit, the applicant must:
1. Demonstrate competency with a firearm.
2. Be 21 years of age or older. Some exceptions apply.
3. Be a U.S. citizen, naturalized citizen or permanent resident alien
Demonstrating Competency with a Firearm
You must also demonstrate competency with a firearm. You can complete this requirement in a number of ways. First, you could attend a hunter safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation. Second, complete an NRA firearms safety or training course. Third, attend a firearms safety course taught by an NRA-certified instructor. The final option is to provide evidence of military service.
You can find an approved concealed carry course by performing a Google search, or you can attend a hybrid concealed carry course taught by yours truly.
