Expired permit Q.

My wife inadvertently let her cwp expire more than a year ago...so she cannot renew it...she has to start over.

Thing is...she originally got her permit over 10 years ago...and her original firearms training certificate was damaged and she tossed it years ago.

After reading the statutes again...I contacted the state to verify that she would be able to renew using the fact that she held a permit...as proof of past training. I was told that no...she could not do so...but that since her old certificate was gone...and so was the company that issued it...she would have to get retrained. Now since I have become an NRA Instructor that isn't the major problem...but it's the fact that the statute states...
.......

If for some reason you fail to renew your license by its expiration date, keep in mind that your Concealed Weapon or Firearm license can be renewed up to six (6) months beyond the expiration date in accordance with section 790.06(11)(a), Florida Statutes. However, there is a late fee of $15.00 for renewing after the expiration date. A concealed weapon license that has been expired for longer than six months cannot be renewed. If you fail to renew within that six-month period after expiration, you will have to apply for a new license.
