Florida’s Permit-less Concealed Carry

Ironically I was going to apply for my CCW on Tuesday, go figure that this came out. I would love to still receive the above mentioned benefits of (no waiting period, reciprocity, etc.). Do any of you know if they will still let me apply or if you can still apply for one and get one with the current state of the bill. Also if you will still be able to get one if the bill passes just for the reciprocity benefits? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the FCC forum from Palm Beach County, im_thinking1!

First, please see this post from another thread (that's a link) that outlines 4 solid reasons to get your Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearms License (FCWFL).

Second, since this was your very first post to FCC without first introducing yourself as described here, please now take the time to properly post you're own Introduction to FCC, letting forum members get to know you a little, particularly with regard to our inherent right to keep and bear arms. You can do that by going to the Introduce Yourself section of the Welcome to Florida Concealed Carry section and starting your very own introduction thread. Then you'll find that lots of other FCC members will know to chime in to properly welcome you to the forum, and will be more responsive in answering your questions you may have!

In case you weren't aware, you can stay current on pertinent Florida Statutes regarding the "justified use of force" and all of Florida firearms laws by going right to the source using these links for Chapter 776 - Justifiable Use of Force and Chapter 790 - Weapons and Firearms, respectively. I'd also like to suggest you obtain your own copy of FLORIDA FIREARMS Law, Use & Ownership by Jon Gutmacher!

If you're a veteran, take a look at our Military Service Thread where you'll find many of us there, too!

Finally, I highly recommend you read this thread to understand how to navigate FCC to get the most out of your experience. One particular item that's caught many veteran FCC members off guard is the "Recommended Reading" at the bottom of each page, which MAY contain quite old threads of inactive conversations lacking up-to-date information or context. So beware of the date of the last post (just to the right of the post number) in any thread you come across so you don't mistakenly think every post is recent and start responding to very old posts/threads that been dormant for quite some time, sometimes for many years.

Again, welcome to FCC!
