I thought this was interesting: “Florida license ISSUED OR RENEWED ON OR AFTER 08/01/2013. Wisconsin DOES NOT recognize Florida licenses issued with the prefixes of W, WJ, WR, WX or WY.” My permit starts with a W and would not be recognized per:

Wisconsin Changes CCW Reciprocity for Florida

According to the State of Wisconsin, concealed carry permits from Delaware, DC and Rhode Island are now honored and residents of those states may carry legally within the boundaries of Wisconsin if they already have a CCW permit from their home state. Wisconsin has also approved the use of...

Can anyone confirm:

• Is the statement regarding the prefixes correct?
• What do the prefixes communicate?

Here's the "Handgunlaw.us" Florida article. It mentions Wisconsin in a "special note...."

Here's the "Winsconsin" article.

Another good resource is this one - Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity Maps v5.1 (Updated Mar 23, 2020)

BTW, Welcome to FCC! I'm sure Beerhunter will be along to get you to post an "Introduce Yourself" Post shortly!

Welcome to FCC from Palm Beach County, gatorback!

ETA: I see your Introductory thread now so forget the first paragraph below, except for the last sentence. 🍻

Will get to your question in a separate post, but first things first. Since you've now made you first post to FCC without first making an introduction, please now take the time to 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 Front Office and start 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! Also, if you're a veteran, take a look at our Military Service Thread where you'll find many of us there, too!

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

Finally, I would like to recommend you consider joining Florida Carry and join the effort to protect the rights of Floridians to keep and bear arms!

Again, welcome to FCC!

I'm not sure of the exact reasons why WI only recognizes permits issued to non-Florida residents with a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearms License (FCWFL), but note that there is no such thing as a Florida "non-resident" FCWFL, only that Florida residents enjoy privileges in other states like SC or no CC privileges in WI. When I was a resident of the DPRofMD, my FCWFL allowed me to carry in WI after a certain date, but when I moved back home in 2016, I could only carry in WI because of my UT non-resident permit. So the change in residency had no real effect on me, personally. I have found that the UT permit I obtained when I was in the DPRofMD has been a worthwhile investment in time and money since it gets me Carry privileges in a total of 39 states, two more than the 37 states that my FCWFL alone gives me (WA and WI). However, that doesn't matter all that much to me except that my Dad now lives near Spokane, WA, so there is that. Perhaps someone else will come along soon that can explain the reasons WI doesn't recognize FCWFL of Florida residents, but does for non-residents; seems kind of backward to me.

Rvrctyrngr, a [former] moderator of this forum [only because he never posts here anymore] would likely know the answer because he's very busy with FloridaCarry.com. You might contact them.
