Alternative Weapons FL/PA

[LTCcarrier]

I know as a Florida CCW holder when I visit PA on my Florida permit I cannot carry other lethal weapons such as an ASP baton, blackjack, etc. But do you PA residents carry such weapons on your PA License to Carry when you visit Florida?

Can you site a FL statute that suggests FL law would permit such a thing?

PA issues a "License To Carry Firearms", not a "Concealed Weapons Permit." State to state, there is a difference.

FL's law allows for carrying guns, knives, batons, and other devices on their permit. In FL, it is a conceal weapons permit.

When someone is in FL from another state, with that other state's license which FL honors - they can carry as Florida allows.

Interesting.

When in Rome, do as the Romans..

Is there any statutory reference to reciprocity that explicitly indicates it includes "weapons" as permitted by FL law?

I understand the "when in Rome" thing. I'm just seeking further clarification if it's available.

Yeah, Article 4 Section 2 of the US Constitution, and Amendment XIV Section 1. lol Laws apply equally to those within the state.

There is no other statutes that I know of in FL law that says reciprocal licenses must carry guns only. Florida just has a law saying carrying concealed guns, knives, batons, and other weapons is illegal. Then there is a license/permit which exempts you from that law. Then there is a law that allows for reciprocal coverage. A reciprocal honoring is as valid for covering weapons in FL just as if it were a FL CWP.

Thanks for the brief, yet concise, explanation.

when a law gets this specific I have to stop and ask what the hell happened to make them write this into the law. Then I also start to wonder how we can get this written into the PA law

I don't see blackjack listed there. I would not consider a billie a blackjack... or is it?

I thought a billie (club) is more like a night stick and a blackjack is a small flexible leather-covered piece of lead.
