can someone explain to me the procedure to obtain a non-resident ccw for Fla., I already have a Pa LTCF but may be purchasing a condo in Fla.

Contact the FL Dept of Agriculture to have them send you a license packet.

It will have the application and finger print cards.

You will need to be fingerprint. And you will need some sort of proof of training. A NRA basic handgun safety course cert, a military DD214, or a Hunter Safety cart will suffice.

You will fill out the applications, attach your fingerprint cards and photos, a copy of your proof of training, and copy of your ID. along with the required funds $$$. then mail it back.


However, your PA LTCF is good in Florida if you do not move there legally.

Once you're a resident of FL for X number of days, FL law requires you to get a FL CWP.
