I got my permit today and also picked up a ruger lc9 can't wait to go to the range!

I am a bit confused about Florida CCW permits. Do you need to have a residence there as well? Also, CONGRATULATIONS!

no you don't...

No FL has a non resident CCW permit..

Ah, thanks for setting me straight on that! Not currently interested in carrying yet and have always thought it was peculiar for so many forum members to have dual residency in FL.

With a town like http://video.foxnews...ntcmp=obnetwork this, why not??

No FL has a non resident CCW permit..

 

Harry:

 

No they don't. The permit is the same whether you are a resident or non-resident. For that matter, the newer ones no longer even list your address. While I may seem to be splitting hairs, there are states that have a specific non-resident permit. Florida does not make that distinction.

 

Adios,

However, and I think it should be pointed out, other states do make that distinction, whether giving the FL CCW reciprocity in their home state, making the determination that either have to, or don't have to be a Florida Resident in addition to having the Florida CCW.

Well yes when we split hairs that is correct, however I didn't want to mislead anyone into thinking if they get a FL CCW that they will have the same rights in other states as a FL Resident with a FL CCW.

just curious....what is the point of getting an out of state permit (florida, Utah) if you still can't carry in NJ?

You can carry in the states that have a reciprocity with FL or UT. That's 33 states or so I believe.

Back to the firearm - I'd love to see a range report! LC9 is high on my list for a carry gun.

Congrats!

And how is it even legal to transport your weapon out of NJ if you aren't heading directly to a local RANGE? (do not pass go)

ok sooooo...it;s worthless unless you plan to cross the country for some odd reason..lol

And everytime you're leaving NJ you aren't going to a range?

The only pocket pistol I've shot is the Bodyguard .380...and I hated it.

 

I would never carry a pocket pistol. I would much rather carry a compact or full size.

You never go to PA? DE?

Ever shoot a PPS or PM9/40/CM9?

I was just checking that handgun out. I'd also like to see a range report.

My current carry gun is a Walther PPKS. It conceals well but is actually heavy for all day carry.

I live a ferry ride from Delaware Outlet shoping and work in Philly multiple times a year. I have a Utah which coveres DE and PA, no reason to be unprotected all day.

which are you referring to?

Im actually thinking of buying an LC9...

 

I have one permit left, expires in feb. I just felt the LCP is small, affordable, lightweight, and it seems to have great reviews.

My soon to be summer carry gun once I get it back will be my cm9. Sent it back before I even shot it because of. Mag release issue. I am not o fan of external safeties on a carry gun

just bc the external safety is there.....doesn't mean you have to use it..lol

That's true

But if it is there, it can be clicked on without you realizing it.

In the stress of a real situation its just one more thing Murphy can use against you.

Negative.

 

The PPS looks cool but I believe it is DAO and I don't like that action. I really like the PPQ and P99 better though. I have never been a fan of Kahr's, not sure what it is about them but they just don't do it for me.

Clean it and make sure the rear sight is tight first.

Why would it be ODD to least the PR of NJ. Not all of us stay in NJ all the time, I know I venture out of the state dozens of times a year, so I would say it's not worthless.

Idk. I just dont see it worth the money to have to carry the gun in your trunk to the state line jut to pull it out, carry for a few hours, then put it away so you can come home.
