The licence also permits you to carry non-firearms weapons such as stun guns, knives, and billy clubs. The first step in obtaining your Florida Concealed Carry Weapons Permit is to take the Concealed Carry Class with Orlando FFL. The class covers topics such as Florida laws regarding concealed weapons, how to load and unload a firearm, safety, mental health issues, and more.
Once you have completed the course, you will be given a certificate signifying that you are now qualified to carry a concealed weapon. There is no charge for the class, but there is a fee of $150 for a new license. This must be done when you apply for your permit, not later.
You must be at least 18 years old to obtain a permit. You will need to provide proof of identity when you apply which can be done using a driver's license or ID card. It may also be done in person at your local sheriff's office. You will also need to provide proof of residence by producing a valid ID and an address document (lease, mortgage, etc.) This can usually be done by sending mail to the address listed on the ID card or the lease if you are renting an apartment. If you do not have these documents, you will need to go to your local courthouse to register your identity.
It is important to remember that you cannot carry a concealed weapon without a license.
