Thanks. Those are issues that I had not thought about.

PapaG, Florida recognizes any permit from any state that recognizes Florida's.

These states recognize Illinois permit.
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin

These states do not.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, New York City, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, N. Mariana Islands

We don't recognize yours, because Illinois don't recognize Florida's.

There seems to be some differences in information.

The Real Alpo's post above indicates that Florida does not recognize Wyoming's CCW, but Papa G says that his renewal letter "that they recognize a CCW from any state that issues it to a resident of that state.

Funny to see this. I just today got my notice from Florida dept of agriculture to renew my Florida permit (I'm in Il). Looked it over and found that they recognize a CCW from any state that issues it to a resident of that state. So, it looks like my IL ccw is good in Fl.
Would save me the $65 renewal, the fingerprint processing fee of $45, and another fee I forgot for now.

Also, Malakili's post cites the Florida Dept of Agriculture website as stating that a Wyoming permit is good in Florida.

Wyoming permit is good to go in florida. Source: fl dept of agriculture website.

Also, no restrictions on capacity, caliber, or amount of pistols you would like to carry. Just keep them concealed.

A lot of the websites referenced (private websites) may not be up to date. Is there a link that definitively answers the question of whether a Wyoming permit is valid in Florida?

(Thanks everyone for supplying the information you have given )

Most of our LE organizations have jumped into the 21 century and the cars have computers that talk to LE Nets.

The last time I was stopped for speeding, in a small rural town yet, the officer politely asked me if I was making use of my CWL at that moment. At that point I needed to answer truthfully, though I had no duty to inform if he had not asked. We had a nice talk actually, in which he asked what I was carrying and how and about whether carrying a .32 ACP was worthwhile as he wrote me a painful ticket

How widespread are the LE nets? I'll be riding my motorcycle thru numerous states soon and will be traveling through states that do not accept my CCP and may possibly spending the night in one of these states. The gun will be in my hard-case saddle bag and if I were to get pulled over for something it might become an issue.......

FL CWLs are not tied to any LEO dept or agency; they are issued by the Dept of Agriculture - the same as hair dresser licenses and all of the others. There is no duty to inform.

FL is good with WY. That's enough.
