    What is my overall cost in getting my CCW? What about for me and my wife together, any cheaper? I have been contemplating getting my CCW for a few years now. Talk some sense into me, please. O*D*W

    O*D*W - you should get your license. Here in Florida, we have a Concealed Weapon License -- whereas many other states only offer a Pistol or Handgun Permit. This means that you can legally carry a variety of concealed weapons in Florida. With Florida being a "shall issue" state -- it is a great right for the citizens of Florida, and I encourage you to obtain the license to exercise that right!

    first off its very easy. you take a class and get your cert. you then have 2 choices . one is to mail in the application with your 10card and passport photos,a copy of your cert. and a check or money order for $112.00 get your card in 6-8 weeks average

    second call the dept of agriculture and make an appt . you will take them you Drivers lic and your cert and a check or money order for 112.00.... everthing done there and the do electronic fingerprinting. get card in 1-2 weeks average

    class through me is 50.00 per person. private class for you and wife 100.00 in your home for your comfort.

    my route was becoming an NRA instructor. you can also be an Police instuctor. its not a cheap thing. for nra you take 3 sep classes. you take the basic instructor then pistol instructor, then the protection inside the home and protection outside the home instructor courses.

    I guess ,I did it the hard way, FDLE Cert. Inst. for over 13 yrs, train Leo student's and CCW class, I do the class room and live fire in one Place. Cover safety in home and out side, stste laws, Fed.laws. Ways to carry, types of firearms, I furnish different types for people to try, I want sign off until the person has showed some abilty to safety handle and fire a handgun, and that is more then one rd. just for starters. jj

    Where is who located? I am in Pensacola. Dragonfire is from Santa Rosa County. He will come to you if you prefer. My wife and I chose to put in some range time, so we all met up at quintette. I also plan to have him come over to the house and do some home defense tactics. I definitely recommend you check out MyFloridaCCW.com and get in touch with him. If not to get you ccw, at least for refresher course. O*D*W

    I appreciate that but would not entertain the thought of you doing it for free. I'd gladly pay you for your service. I,ll try to get up with you next weekend. I work out of state and usually home on weekends. Thanks

    That statement while true should have included the excerpt from CH 790, some people think you can carry any weapon such as SBS, SBR, and machine guns.
    For the purposes of this section, concealed weapons or concealed firearms are defined as a handgun, electronic weapon or device, tear gas gun, knife, or billie, but the term does not include a machine gun as defined in s. 790.001(9)

    O*D*W - you should get your license. Here in Florida, we have a Concealed Weapon License -- whereas many other states only offer a Pistol or Handgun Permit. This means that you can legally carry a variety of concealed weapons in Florida.
