Utah vs. Florida non-resident permit

[rady8um]

Hello all,
I have noticed a number of facilities offering classes for Florida and Utah permits. I have my PA permit, but a Utah or Fla. non-resident would give me many states including Delaware, my main concern. Unless I am not seeing things correctly, the only difference besides cost of the actual permit, is that Fla will give me Kansas. Utah is cheaper to get and the renew is only ten dollars. Am I missing something?



Sorry, meant to put this in the Q & A section

I'm certified to teach the Utah CCW and you've got it right, FL gives you one or two more states that UT doesn't but UT is about $55 to $60 cheaper.

Thanks, your website is what got me thinking about a UT non-res. The link you have to show the number of states you would be legal in was good too. The problem is, I'm on the other end of the PA. Anybody have any preference for a facility that teaches the Utah CCW class around Montco?

Or check the Utah website. They have a listing of instructors.

One thing too for FL, they accept your Hunter Safety Course certificate/card for the training requirement. Which may offset the cost difference between Utah and Florida. But taking a course, or refresher course, is alway a good idea.

A FL permit is only good in KS if you're a FL resident. I don't know if that's a change from when the OP was posted in Feb 2007, but it's the case now. A UT permit will give you WA, NV, and MN, which the FL will not.

As stated above, the Utah permit gives you a couple extra states, and it's a lot cheaper to apply for and renew.
