The training course you need to take, does it require actually firing the gun? Im taking the NRA course and wanted to know would I actually be shooting the gun.

I took the NRA Basic Pistol course as my requisite training, and yes, it did. I imagine most, if not all, of the training options that meet the requirements do involve some actual shooting

Okay thanks. My friend wanted to know also. Im taking the class on Dec 11.

Is there some other issue that's concerning you that you care to bring up?

Does the NRA class handle the Florida. Ccw too or just guns for hire? Basically my friend couldn't make the Tom's river meeting. How can he get his Florida ccw?

Brother,

 

I have an extra FL ccw packet. Send me an address and I will get it in the mail to you.

All you need to do is take an NRA First step (4 hour) or NRA basic pistol class (8 hour).

 

Anthony

I took basic pistol and was good to go.

Hunters ed also counts, and it is free!

I am working on getting my Florida CCW also. I took hunter's ed back in grade school and dont think i have a certificate that says i passed. Would sending them a copy of my hunting license suffice?

The course has to be within 1 year of applying for the ccw

You can get a duplicate.

 

Obtaining a Duplicate Hunter Education Card

 

The hunter education unit maintains a database of graduates dating back to 1972 (however, records for the years prior to computerization in 1986 are incomplete and there is no guarantee we will have a record of course completion for the 1972-1986 period). Duplicate course completion cards can only be issued for those whose records are on file.

 

Individuals who may have completed a course prior to 1972, or whose records cannot be located, must complete a hunter education course to obtain a new course completion card. Questions can be directed to the Hunter Education Office at [email protected] or at 856-629-0552 or toll-free at 877-2-HUNT NJ.

 

To obtain a duplicate certificate, please print and complete the Duplicate Hunter Education Course Completion Card Request Form and mail to the address provided on the form.

 

 

I took my shotgun class in 1996 and just got a duplicate and it has this years date on it. I faxed in the form and got the duplicate in like 5 days.

Section 790.06(2)(h), Florida Statutes states the same thing.

 

I don't have my FL CCW yet, but I did double check my packet and like I said I've never heard about the 1 year thing.

Maybe it used to be this way?

Looks like its different now. Those forms were revised in Sept 2010. I remember because i had to rush the paperwork down because I was cutting it close. I didnt want someone to waste money if they had to re apply

I just sent mine in.. I sent it in with my NRA first steps paperwork.. Anthony from Gun For Hire looked it over and didn't mention any issues with it... my NRA paperwork is about a year and a half old... hopefully this is a non issue..

Really old bump. But does the hunters course mean just a copy of the small wallet size handwritten card is sufficient? I took the course. Got the card. Never got a hunting license or anything like that.

 

Also, how do I get a license so it is associated with my CID I already have from the saltwater registry?

On a separate somewhat related note, how long have people waited to hear back after sending in their paperwork?

I had all my paperwork done at GFH, dropped it in the mail the next day, had my FL ccw license in 29 days.

 

 

 

*Also to note, for the firearms training requirement for the FL ccw, a copy of your DD-214 fulfills the requirement. I didn't see that mentioned in this thread.

It seems pretty clear in the regs to me... I don't believe the NJ hunter education card contains all the data that FL requires. Perhaps someone who used it to get their FL CCW can chime in.

You are right. It doesn't have all that info. Hmmm

I used my hunter education card from NJ. I received my florida CCW in just under 30 days last year in December.

Thanks guys. I'm going to start the timer today since I just got an alert that by check was cashed. We'll see how it goes...

Any recommendation on prints? Does it have to be from a LE agency?

Depending on your location, I went through Gun for Hire for prints, picture, and notary. And they do the training class if you need it.
