Looking to add FL CWP...

[Mr H]

Any Florida permit groups coming up?

I already have NRA Basic HG, but want to get the rest in order.

That is sufficient for FL, as long as it contained live fire.

 

[Mr H]

Right... no worries there.

I just need the administrative stuff, and if there is anyone doing a course (law, prints, etc.) all the better.

 

[swinokur]

your UT class would work.

Just need the NRA basic hand gun. Make sure when you get your application notarized the notary uses his embosser! MD is one of the few states where a notary can just use a stamp, but FL is looking for that crunch in the paper. When I did mine FL required ink finger prints, and they still do for out of state applications. They will send you a finger print card. Get printed at your local police dept. You'll need to send passport type photos too.

Their web site will give you everything you need to do, but as far as training you're set with NRA Basic pistol.

and make sure the police sign the card and date it.

The prints must be obtained by a LE agency. If your local LE agency does not provide this service (many don't), CJIS on Reisterstown Road does provide this service for a fee. CJIS IS the Maryland State fingerprint repository... Criminal Justice Information Svcs.

Mo Co Police do it manpower allowing. 10 bucks

According to Dukes Defense, my UT class was enough for FL, so the only thing I needed them for was the live fire certification.

Yes, LE MUST do the prints. Absolute Investigative services was the first to do mine, and FL kicked them back. The Harford County Sheriff's Office did them the second time.

Funny thing is though, I found AIS through CJIS.

Laurel PD does them as well... I got the wife to finish her permit process while on Vacation last year in Fl. Went to the local Sheriff office and had live scan done. Dropped everything in PO box in Fl and she had her permit in 3 weeks.

Yeah, CJIS has what is essentially a franchise system for prints and LiveScan. Vendors such as AIS are authorized to do prints and LiveScan under the auspices of CJIS with the exception of agencies that require an LE agency to obtain. This adds a level of security for the identity of the individual, especially for out of state applicants-so I am told...

For others reading this thread, I strongly recommend using an LE agency when I do multi-state CCW classes. Reason: CJIS can make a bad day at the DMV look good, if there is a line over 3 ppl.!

I think that's why VA allows CJIS vendors to do prints for their NR permit. If they submit to CJIS that seems to satisfy VA. FL still wants LE to do them.
