Florida...here's a twist....

Florida doesn't differentiate between resident and non-resident permits, they issue a Concealed Weapon Permit to anyone that meets their qualifications, regardless of state of residence.

However, my understanding is that Florida doesn't RECOGNIZE non-resident permits. For example, if you live in Texas, they will only recognize your Texas permit, not your Utah, New Hampshire, or whatever.

I live in Louisiana. Would this mean that my FLORIDA permit might possibly not be recognized by Florida, even though I legally carry in my home state on their permit?

I opted for the Florida permit on the advice of my CHL instructor here in Louisiana, because at the time the Louisiana permit wasn't honored by our northern neighbor, Arkansas, and also because Louisiana tacks on a $50 surcharge to new applications if you haven't been in the state for at least 15 years.

Interesting point to ponder.
