FL, NH Non Res CCW Permit Question

[Fake Name]

I am planning on soaking up the rays in Florida this winter and I would like to CCW while I'm there.

Unfortunately my home state ccw is not reciprical with Florida, but I do have a non-resident New Hampshire ccw.

Does anyone know if the NH non-resident permit is accepted in Florida?

Anyone know if I can do this, or has anyone done this. I plan on flying to FL on a commercial airline.

Where can I go to find more info?

I live in FL. and right now cannot find the link. I'll find it and post for you tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it looks like you're out of luck since Florida (like my own state of Colorado ) decided that "permit holder must be resident of the state they honor" thereby [struggling to think of a highroad word here...] preventing anyone from a no-issue state (e.g. IL, NJ, MD, etc.) from legally carrying in Florida on a non-resident permit.

Florida is a shall issue state including non-resident permits but do not recognize non-resident permits from any other state. You will have to get one from Florida and that can take up to 3 months. Jim.

Also, I just took my course Thursday night. If you do electronic fingerprints you can have your license in 2-3 weeks. Paper prints can be 6 weeks +

It took me 42 days door to door once I mailed my app in.

Ordering the package, etting prints from the local police to send it to Florida;etc took about 2 months total. I hopped right on it when I wanted it!

Hi Romma

Did you just go down to the CT DPS for your Criminal History Report (or lack of)?

Do they charge for that?

 

[romma]

They didn't ask for a report, I checked "no" on a box asking if I had been convicted of a felony or domestic violence charge... I also copied my Connecticut permit and my NRA basic handgun course certificate and sent them that as well...

I should have mentioned that you will need proof of firearms training for your Florida permit...
