Florida CCW

[Cokebottle]

And don't forget, the Florida application must be notarized.
My notary had to do something special because of the type of form it was and actually voided one of the pages, having to use a replacement page from Ca. The original was still attached with her stamp and a reference.

No issue with that... the only thing addressed in my "need more information" letter was they did not recognize a copy of the CaCCW as meeting their training requirements. They need some kind of "certificate" with the instructor identified.

Not that it would hurt anyone to take Basic Pistol or Defensive Pistol.
Apple Valley Gun Club is hosting NRA Defensive Pistol next month.

Thanks guys! After a little more digging it seems FL only gets me MN. That isn't worth it to me.

I just hope Peruta goes our way and Gore is forced to issue permits.

I'm not seeing FL getting MN, resident or non-resident.

The only thing that FL gets you over AZ is FL.
The only reason I went through the process for FL is my daughter lives there.

Other than that, between AZ and UT, UT give you WA, AZ gives you NV.
I've been to WA only twice in my life, and my friends in Portland are now deceased, so I don't anticipate going back unless I move there.
I time in NV a couple of times a year.

Hmmmmm.... I read that wrong. THANKS!!!

That's what I figured. I have no plans to travel to FL and as AZ gives me NV where I have relatives I'll just stick with my AZ and hope against hope that Peruta goes the correct way.

Is there anyone on here, who has a Non resident FLorida CCW i have a Nevada CCW already, but want the florida one also as it would give me up tp i believe 39 states i can legally carry.

I took the class thru "the Gun Shop" here in Las Vegas and need to just fill in the application take a passport photo already got the finger print placard

Main Question is for payment since i am mailing everything should i just write a check and throw everything in the envelop?

My wife and I both have the Florida non-resident CCW. We paid with a personal check and sent both apps in together in the same envelope.

Note that with the Florida application, your fingerprint card has to be completed at a law enforcement agency. Also make that they do a good job because the prints for both my wife's initial application and renewal were rejected by the FBI and had to be re-submitted.

How would NV and FL give you 39, when NV, CA, AZ, and FL is only 36?

I waited about 90 days and when they announced that vets/active duty personnel get expedited; I called and sent a copy of my DD214. They called and e-mailed me that my permit would be on its way the next day. THANKS FLORIDA!

If you are considering a FL CCW, I'd send them out ASAP.

With the recent mass shooting, there are going to be a lot of FL residents applying for their FL CCW. FL CCW backlog is going to get crazy in the next few days/week(s).

Just as it happened with the San Bernardino attack. The CCW applications skyrocketed in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago.

A copy of your California CCW is not sufficient... they need to have a copy of the actual class certificate with the NRA instructor's number and signature.
This isn't a huge deal for many, but in San Bernardino, our CCW is our certificate, so we need something more.

Print must be rolled by LE.
I rolled mine on the Livescan machine and she printed onto the cards, that was accepted.
Passport photo and form notarized at Auto Club and good to go.

Got mine in the mail sometime this week while I was out of town.

Looks like it took a bit shy of 3 weeks from the time I mailed it. I sent the app of on the 27 May (Friday before Memorial day), post mark is 10 June, so it probably got to my house on 14 or 15 Jun at the latest. Pretty damn good! The web site did say they were expediting Active duty and Vet permits so I assume it went to the top of the pile.

2 Passport Photos from CVS Pharmacy.
Local PD still does ink prints for $18/card.
Check for $112.
DD-214.
Filled out Application notorized at the UPS Store for $15.

Actually cheaper AND faster than AZ AND good for 7 years!

I will be in florida for vacation the very end of August. It seems like the possibility of getting a ccw back by then are slim to none with me not being a vet. Should I buck up and be optimistic or am I probably SOL with waiting this long?

Have you already applied?

They have, by law, 90 days to process your application.

Have all of your ducks in a row... I was delayed over 60 days because they did not accept a copy of my CA CCW and I had to send in copies of my NRA training certs.

If you have not applied yet, I don't think you'll make it by August.

Out of curiosity, what lead you to believe that a copy of your CA CCW would suffice to meet the training requirment?

Because California training requirements are more stringent than Florida, the class that I took was from my IA (San Bernardino does not accept private training), and it's good enough for proof of training for AZ and other states that have substantially the same "proof of training" requirements as FL.

My IA does not issue a separate certificate for training.
You get your signed range card listing the guns you qualified with and the instructor's signature. I did send a copy of that as well.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I was hoping someone could provide a synopsis on what a CA resident needs to do to get a FL non-resident permit.

I have:
-A CA CCW
-An 8-hour training certificate for that
-An NRA-licensed handgun safety class certificate
-A CA hunting license
-A CA hunter's safety certificate
-An AZ non-resident CCW license
-A UT non-resident CCW license

I assume one of those qualifies? So my question is, what do I need to submit, and how do I acquire it? Are the resident and non-resident applications the same thing? From what I see on this thread and the FL website, it appears I need to complete an application, fingerprint cards (the same as AZ? where do I get them?), send proof of training (which one of the above listed items would be best to submit?), passport photos, and money. Based on the reported long wait times, I want to make sure I get this right the first time. As "luck" would have it, FL is probably the state I spend the 2nd-most amount of time in, next to CA. Thanks in advance!
