QUESTION 6
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 hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a similar agency in another state;
• any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course;
• any firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement agency,
junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, or the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services;
• any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security officers, 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” Firearms Instructor licensed by the State of Florida, etc.), and your instructor’s license/ certification number.
Other acceptable forms of training documentation include the following:
• documentary evidence of experience with a firearm obtained through participation in organized shooting competition; • active-duty military personnel may submit copies of any of the following documents that confirm your experience
with a firearm gained during service: military orders including call to active-duty letter; a statement of military service signed by, or at the direction of, the adjutant, personnel officer, or commander of your unit or higher headquarters which identifies you and provides your date of entry for your current active-duty period;
• former military personnel can submit a DD Form 214 reflecting honorable discharge from military service. PLEASE NOTE: Any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course, any firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement agency, junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, or any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified instructor or by an instructor certified by the National Rifle Association must include live fire using a firearm and ammunition as defined in Section 790.001, Florida Statutes, in the physical presence of an instructor.
DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL TRAINING DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED MATERIALS TO THE DIVISION.
You do need a live fire course or other proof of “competency with a firearm.” Among other ways, any state certified/NRA/LE instructor can teach it. Requirements for live fire are at the end of following quote:
No doubt. I only mention it because many MA residents who took a bfs class did so with a live fire portion.That's why I recommended Rob, you get a 6 Plus State Course with Live Fire that covers you for any Permit...

I am all about further training, but if it’s just to get a certificate to apply for a state license, it is good to know you may already have it.
I get that. I used to have FL, UT, ME, NH, & MA Res. FL and UT get you virtually all of the same states. But I have family in FL, so I allowed UT to lapse. ME and NH are no longer needed, so I let those expire as well.Yup your right, I wasn't thinking that way...
I was thinking of the person that wanted to get a MA LTC or Florida LTC...
If your going for a MA LTC or a Florida LTC why not go through the 6 Plus State Class and get covered for almost all of the Country was my thinking...

CT is the only real hole in my local plan, but my rule of thumb is, if they won’t let me carry, I don’t go.
I keep ordering the CT Forms but I haven't done it yet... I just got another Package from CT to do it at the same time as my Florida renewal... I go to CT enough with my Hotrod and I'm sick of pulling my holster and stuff off each day before I head down to one of the shows... I might as well do it at the same time, that way I only have to go to my PD once for the Finger print cards ....
I haven't tried for a RI LTC yet, Rob told us that they are a very heavy rejection State... Then you have the rejection over your head every time you try to renew another LTC and having to explain why you have a rejection... I hardly ever go to RI so I haven't tried for it....
I got my CT non-resident last year. They quoted a 4 month turn around and that is what it was; almost to the day.
Four separate checks were required for:
$15 fee to be fingerprinted.
$70 application fee
$75 CT fingerprint processing fee
$12 FBI fingerprint processing fee
The $15.00 finger print fee is because I had them do my prints there when I applied in person. I wanted to apply in person as I wanted to make sure that they would acccept my course from 1984 and they did as it had live fire.
I can say that the staff there was absolutely terrific.
I’ve been debating this myself.
The Mosby V Devine Supreme Court decision determined that having a C&R was sufficient reason to issue a pistol permit but there are a lot of hoops to go through.
