FL goes permitless carry

[Blacksmith101]

So, is this 26 states now or were we already past half?

We are at 25 now but both Florida and Nebraska have bills that have passed the legislature and are on the way to the respective Governors Desks so 26 and 27 are just waiting to happen.

Then they can add their "blood in the streets" to the other existing 25 states with CC, you would think with that many streets the blood would be filling the reservoirs by now.

As a former inmate of MD and now a proud FL resident...I approve of this message and would like to subscribe to it's news letter. That said, as long as they continue to offer them, I'll keep renewing my permit for reciprocity. My MD permit is up for renewal late this year...I'm curious to see how that will go.

Shouldn't be an issue, only thing is you have to get that 8 hour training through a MD-approved instructor. IDK if there are any down in FL though?

It’s funny, the majority of States are Constitutional carry, and just listen to the MD politicians scream “the sky is falling” because of Bruen.

It applies to all. The licensing system stays in place

Starts July 1

My renewal...last I checked you don't need training to renew. Also, I'm training exempt...that wonderful thing called a DD-214.

Training exempt you wouldn’t need it, those who aren’t do an 8hr renewal course- basically Day 2 of the standard 2 day with the shooting qual.

Just to make sure my feeble mind understands your comment my friend, are you saying that I still need to carry my FL non-resident CC permit when I go there? I just want to doublecheck to be safe.

I plan to become a FL resident in about 18 months so this is great news.

Thanks.

That makes a HUGE difference there. For the rest of us peons the training is nothing more than a burden meant to frustrate exercising a right.

If you plan to go before July yes. Afterward (assuming the bill is signed), no, although I would maintain the permit for reciprocity purposes.
The way things are you have a few oddball states that don't allow for a visitor to carry on a 3rd state's permit, so maintaining the home state permit is a must if you do any extensive traveling.

Excellent!
I saw this morning where they'd put it on his desk so I knew it wouldn't be long.

So does that void my non resident FL permit?

 

[John from MD]

NO

Got it, thanks for the explanation. Especially regarding the reciprocity issue. That small but very important fact had escaped me!

Still waiting on my renewal to come back. You know they want the money.

Excellent. I would point out this isn’t constitutional carry in the proper sense.
It’s permitless concealed carry. They are the ONLY state right now to virtually ban open carry but allow concealed w/o a permit.
