If you want to pay $50.00 or more for a Utah Class that has no firing range time and is a waste of money go for it!!!

A veteran with a valid DD-214 meets Florida's training requirements and the turn around time for a non-resident Florida permit is quicker.

Utah gives you more states, combined with the PA LTCF you get 34 where Florida combined with the PA gives you 32, they both give you DE & OH.

You're correct in Florida is easier, if you already have some kind of training, like the PA Hunter Trapper safety course. HOWEVER in the long run Florida is more expensive.

Utah new permit $65
Utah renewal $10

Florida new permit $110
Florida renewal $100

Both are good for five years.

I took the Utah class, mostly common sense type stuff and Utah laws, not very hard at all, after you shoot a few rounds to show you can hit the paper. The class I took was $50, fingerprints and photo another $20., include the Utah fee for a total of $135. In 5 years it renews at ten dollars.

Don't forget, if you don't already have one of the approved types of training for the Florida permit you then add the class and other fees to the total making Utah a much better choice all around.

By the way, Utah gives you the same states Florida gives you, plus two.

Oh, and from the time I mailed all the required stuff to Utah until the day I had the UT permit in my hands only 52 days had gone by, a shorter period of time then my PA LTCF took in Delaware County.
