I was called back today after leaving 2 messages for a supervisor to call and told that I would be receiving it in 7-10 days.

I am currently at 76 days mailed, 74 days since they received it so it looks like I will get it door to door before 90 days with ink prints!!

Now the dreaded mailbox wait.....:aarg:aarg:aarg

Congrats.

The next 7 - 10 days will seem almost as long as the rest of the wait.

 

[Glock22]

congratulations sir :drinks

Thanks!!! :drinks:drinks

Isn't your CWL attached to your DL. I mean, when an officer runs your DL doesn't it show you have a CWL?? Couldn't I conceal carry now since it is issued or should I not chance it and suck it up for another 7-10 days?

 

[MPDC66]

Good for you!:drinks

 

[perdizzle]

Good luck with the 7-10 days. They are just as inconsistent with delivery time as they are issuing the licenses. I called today since im now on day 13 since being issued only to be told by a supervisor that it could be 15-20 days now because they are having problems with there printing machines. Not trying to bum you out since there are a few people that get them within three days but most are taking a little longer.

I wouldn't chance it. You're supposed to have the license on you at all times when carrying.

 

[JAXjam]

You're supposed to have the license on you at all times when carrying.

I could not find any statute requiring that a person with a CWL has to actually carry the license whenever they are CC. Of course, the actual possession of the identification will make any interaction with the Po Po more pleasant. Is this an assumption or is the requirement hidden somewhere...like maybe the application?

790.015 Nonresidents who are United States citizens and hold a concealed weapons license in another state; reciprocity.--

(1) Notwithstanding s. 790.01, a resident of the United States who is a nonresident of Florida may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm while in this state if the nonresident:

(a) Is 21 years of age or older; and

(b) Has in his or her immediate possession a valid license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued to the nonresident in his or her state of residence.

This is as close as I could come in finding anything discussing the requirement to have a licesne in possession while CC.

So... If you decide to carry with out your license with you, and you get caught, your looking at a 25$ fine. If the CCW is linked to your DL then I don't see any major draw backs other than 25$ bucks to the Clerk of court?

Why would anyone chance having an LEO spot it and ask for the license which you don't have.

The license may be issued, but you have not received it yet. I don't quite understand all the fuss made on this forum about waiting for a license to carry being issued to begin with.

You've gone how many years without one?

[MPDC66]

BUT are you sure it is linked? Not sure that is the case myself.

I asked my buddy that works for the OCSO if they were and he said when he pulls info on a DL it does not show him if they have a CWL so....I guess no

 

[perdizzle]

I'm not saying i'm going to be carrying with out it but I am curious if it really is linked as well. Had I known about this last week when I was working in section 8 housing in Ocala I would have definitely risked the 25 bucks.

** I am not a LEO and I am not sure if the person who alleges to be a leo is in fact such, but this is what I found.

A license can be checked through FCIC but not NCIC. DOACS has granted FCIC access to their database to check a license. The only response that comes back is Valid, Revoked, Expired or "no record found". It is pretty much the same as making a phone call to DOACS as it is checked in the same database and the person who answers the phone in gonna check. The computer check also only allows for a search by either license number or social security number, there is no search option for Name/DOB.

It is the same with checking a drivers license. A DL is not entered into NCIC/FCIC. DHSMV simply grants NCIC/FCIC access to their database for checks.

as to the question of doacs approving license but it has not arrived and you want to carry, he said this

790.06 License to carry concealed weapon or firearm.--

Any person in compliance with the terms of such licence may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm notwithstanding the provisions of s. 790.01. The licensee must carry the license, together with valid identification, at all times in which the licensee is in actual possession of a concealed weapon or firearm and must display both the license and proper identification upon demand by a law enforcement officer.

That makes it pretty clear that the licensee would be in violation of 790.06. Now, I would probably not make that arrest and in turn give some education send them on their way.

The other problem that the licensee may run into is that if the physical card has not had time arrive. Then the information may not have been entered into the database allowing for an NCIC/FCIC check. If the licensee has just the number and when checked comes back as "no record found" then they are in violation of the statute as there is no way to confirm the number is valid.
