*** TIME AND SPEAKERS TBD ***

 

The cost for processing is $25.00 for members & $50.00 for non-members.

There will be an opportunity to join at the meeting.

 

We will have everything you need available including applications, fingerprinting, photo station and a notary.

Items you will need:

* a copy of any NRA or State firearms safety training certificate or

* a copy of your Hunter Education Card or

* a copy of your orders calling you to active duty if you are active duty military or DD-214 if you are a veteran

 

If you don't have any of the above, you will be able to sign up for the next Gun-For-Hire NRA First Steps class either prior to, or at the event." To arrange for training prior to the meeting contact "Gun for Hire" here.

 

You will also need a check or money order for the license fee of $117.00 payable to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

 

*** NOTE - THIS FEE IS NOT REFUNDABLE. New Jersey does *NOT* have reciprocity with Florida ***

 

For full details and prerequisites click here.

What do you do if you don't have neither the Hunter Educ card or Active Duty card?

If you have none of the listed items, you can contact Anthony Colandro at "Gun for Hire" or an NRA training instructor/center of your choice for a basic course. They will help you choose the best course for your needs. I hope that helps.

Woohoo! Finally something close by

 

Pending no catastrophes at work, I'll be there.

Yeah, we figured you people up in the Alps would be pleased. Make sure everyone knows about it. This is an excellent chance to get you FL CCW *AND* have your voice added to our ranks. We will be making a LOT of noise over the next several months. We need to know who among the current list of representatives and potential candidates actually supports the right to carry a handgun for self defense and who does not. This information will be reflected in our decisions concerning who to support in November.

Correction needed.

 

That said, I'm gonna try to be there. This may be the closest FL permit event to me for a while.

Yeah, I am a little bit brain dead right now. Thanks. Ken :-)

Glad to see a northern meeting! Couldn't make the last one due to the distance. I will be there barring any unforseen conflicts and will join NJ2AS while I'm there. Do you have a time set up yet?

I should be there. Thanks for setting something up in North Jersey.

We generally like to start the meetings at about 7:30pm, with the speakers starting around 8pm. I am waiting to hear back from Anthony to make sure we won't interfere with a class. I would also like him to be my first speaker. Keep an eye on our website for updates. I should know for sure in a few days.

 

Thanks,

If this is at GFH/BH keep in mind that parking can be an issue there.

Good point Nick. Based off the attendance of past meetings, parking will be short by well over 50 vehicles.

Ah, good to know. I'll check with Anthony and see if he has any suggestions.

Anyone have any suggestions for an alternative location?

Anthony regularly has classes that big... I am sure there is a place to park...

 

for the southies... remember the thing called "The Club"? make sure you bring it.

 

Sorry, could not resist.... I have not used the club since living in Elizabeth or visiting Brooklyn.

 

But I am sure there should be street parking... just dont park too close to the railroad.

I attended when they did this in the south.. and it was well worth it.. great deal.. everything was run smoothly.. plus got to meet some people from the site.. strongly suggest going..

I agree Maks. There should be sufficient parking, but - we *DO* have this forum, there is no reason why we can't organize some car pooling. Just a thought.

 

I remember the club. Never owned one.

Will a NJ Hunting license suffice to meet Florida requirements?

I've also completed a 4-day Defensive Handgun course from Front Sight in Nevada.

Just wondering.

You would need to make a copy of your hunter safety card. Your hunting license alone is insufficient.

A little too pricey for me.

A little too pricey for me.

 

 

What exactly is a little pricey?

 

$25 to get all of your paperwork, photos and fingerprints?

 

or the $117 that is the Florida CCW fee?

Add those two together and as I said too pricy for me.

There's a Kmart parking lot a few blocks away at the intersection of Joralemon and Main St. I park there for work - it's not a problem.

Anybody that wants to carpool let me know. Matt? Sigman? anybody in NNJ off or near Rt23 and Oak Ridge.

Very cool Matt. That helps the parking issue.

 

BTW everybody should join the NJ2AS and take the discount. Good cause!

:Shrug:

 

Add in the hassle of getting a LEO to do your prints, paying $10 for passport photos, and actually getting the willpower to sit down and fill it out, the seminar is worth every penny.
