Florida Concealed Permit

[lacfiremx02]

I was wondering if anyone knows of any gun safety classes that are coming up any time soon. I'm looking to get my Florida Concealed Carry Permit and I know you need a safety training course. Also I was wondering how you guys went about to get your fingerprints that are required. Thank you guys for always being such a great help!

I used my dd214 as proof of training and I got my fingerprints done at the Pottstown police department (forget how much they charged me $20-25).

Not sure if this helps you but good luck!

Florida doesn't require special training the accept virtually any training. You only need one from the items below

Florida law requires you to submit proof of competency with a firearm in order to qualify for a concealed weapon license. A copy of a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION or similar document from any of the following courses or classes is acceptable:

any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement;

any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified instructor or by an instructor certified by the National Rifle Association.

The copy of the training certificate/document must be clear and legible. The certificate/document must include your name, your instructor's name, your instructor's qualifications/credentials (National Rifle Association instructor, law enforcement firearms instructor, Class "K" Firearm Instructor licensed by the State of Florida, etc.), and your instructor's license/certification number.

Other acceptable forms of training documentation include the following:
