 Minimum Age Requirement Exceptions
The minimum age to obtain a concealed weapons permit is 21. However, if you are currently in the military or have been discharged under honorable conditions, you can obtain your permit at any age.
F.S. 790.062 Members and veterans of the United States Armed Forces; exemptions from licensure provisions.
(1) Notwithstanding s. 790.06(2)(b), the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall issue a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm under s. 790.06 if the applicant is otherwise qualified and:
(a) Is a service member, as defined in s. 250.01; or
(b) Is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces who was discharged under honorable conditions.
I think this is absolutely awesome. Simply provide your DD form 214, CAC card or retirement ID card to the Department of Agriculture to qualify for this exception.
