I was told you need a ccw permit from another state along with the non-resident Florida CCW to actually carry in Florida.

 

This makes no sense to me, Anybody care to explain why a state would issue a ccw and then not honour it ????

Not true

I have a Florida CCL..............where on it does it say Non-Rseident....?

Florida does not issue resident or non resident permits... they issue permits..

Florida CCW permits means you can carry a gun in Florida..

 

the only time resident or non resident applies is when figuring out reciprocity for other states..

Whoever "told" you........... has NO idea of what he/she is talking about......

IIRC - if you are in FL carrying via reciprocity on a non-FL permit you must be a resident of that non-FL state whose permit you're using.

IIRC - if you are in FL carrying via reciprocity on a non-FL permit you must be a resident of that non-FL state whose permit you're using.

if you are carrying in FL.. on a FL license.. you are not carrying on reciprocity..

if you are carrying in FL.. on a FL license.. you are not carrying on reciprocity..

 

Right - I said non-FL permit. This is where i think the OPs buddy's confusion is coming in. FL will not honor non-resident permits from other states which it has reciprocity with.

Will FL honor a NJ permit?

:unknw:

Just asking?

Hell No.

 

But if you had a Jersey permit, I don't think you'd be worried about those sorts of things.

Alright, glad to see that that's the case, I argued my case from common sense point of view but that does'nt always hold with gun laws.

 

I will relay this back

Florida only accepts their own non-resident permit...meaning if you have a non res permit from Utah, you can't use it in Florida.

FL permit is A OK to carry with in FL even if its not your resident state.

Will FL honor a NJ permit?

Just asking?

Hell No.

 

But if you had a Jersey permit, I don't think you'd be worried about those sorts of things.

 

FL will honor any state that honors theirs. So as soon as NJ honors the FL permit....oh...wait....NJ...what was I thinking?

 

Funny thing is....the way I read FL statute...they should be honoring ALL other states' resident permits.

Whats a NJ CCW?

Whats a NJ CCW?

 

It's like a unicorn

Sad isn't it................a New Jersey CCL.

Mine just arrived today. I think I'll take a trip to P.A and walk around (concealed, but) strapped just to see what it feels like! LOL

So if you have a Florida non-res.ccw Utah recognizes it ,but if you have a Utah non-res. florida does not recognize it,true ?

So if you have a Florida non-res.ccw Utah recognizes it ,but if you have a Utah non-res. florida does not recognize it,true ?

 

Correct!

 

Florida doesn't recognize any NON-resident state permits.

 

BTW. Florida doesn't issue non-resident permits, just carry permits.

BTW. Florida doesn't issue non-resident permits, just carry permits.

 

Doesn't really matter. Your Florida permit will not be valid in the states that don't accept non-resident permits, because you are not a resident of Florida.
