Carrying a concealed blackpowder firearm?

Florida also issues a "concealed weapon or firearms license." However, the OP is probably asking about whether or not a BP gun could be lawfully carried concealed in the absence of such a permit or license. In addition, anyone prohibited from being in possession of a firearm is not going to be issued such a license or permit.

In looking at your post again, I have to ask, does Kentucky issue a concealed weapon license or permit that does not include firearms? That's something I had never thought of before. Makes me wonder if any state does.

People have to remember that, in many states, a concealed firearm license/permit allows for the lawful carry of only that, a firearm, and not of other types of weapons. Also, having a Florida non-resident license (for example) would not permit concealed carry of a non-firearm-weapon allowed by Florida, but not allowed in the holder's home state or whatever state he or she is in.

Kentucky only has the one permit, and the required training focuses on guns. It just doesn’t limit you to guns.

Actually we are almost certainly going to permitless carry as soon as the Governor signs the legislation. I still plan to keep my permit because I enjoy the reciprocity with dozens of other states.

Yep, sounds like us (though Florida will never see lawful, non-licensed carry beyond the extremely-limited conditions already permitted.)
