[Dean Crawford]

Headed to FL for a couple of weeks next month, I have a MA and a Utah permit what are my options for carrying if any, I tried doing a search but they only thing I found was a great source for a headache.

per http://www.open-carry.org/index.php/law

(1) Except as otherwise provided by law and in subsection (2), it is unlawful for any person to openly carry on or about his or her person any firearm or electric weapon or device. It is not a violation of this section for a person licensed to carry a concealed firearm as provided in s. 790.06(1), and who is lawfully carrying a firearm in a concealed manner, to briefly and openly display the firearm to the ordinary sight of another person, unless the firearm is intentionally displayed in an angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self-defense.
(2) A person may openly carry, for purposes of lawful self-defensea) A self-defense chemical spray.
(b) A nonlethal stun gun or dart-firing stun gun or other nonlethal electric weapon or device that is designed solely for defensive purposes.

(3) Any person violating this section commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

If you don't have a non-res permit, you can't carry there.

Try the app Legal Heat. According to that, Florida honors a Utah resident LTC but not nonresident. MA no way.

Getting a FL nonresident permit is a simple shall issue process, takes about 90 days start to finish. Check out www.freshfromflorida.com/Divisions-Offices/Licensing/Concealed-Weapon-License/

Good luck.

Yes, only solution is to get a FL NR license.

After reviewing both yesterday morning, I think usacarry.com is better. It distinguishes between resident and NR LTCs as you build your map (though it only allows for one residence)

This restriction on their tool was unfortunate as some people have multiple resident permits

My Fla. non res. ltc took 63 days and another 5 to get the finger print card. Still have a blank card if close.

Agreed. I wish it let you mark multiple as resident, rather than just one. Of course the answer (if I'm really grumpy about it) is for me to make my own tool that lets you do just that; but I don't wanna.

All the usacarry.com map does is show you a colored map. What are the laws in each place? How are you supposed to confirm any of it? You need to go here http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_information.html to learn that.

Handgunlaw.us has easily-located links to every relevant law and every relevant webpage, both state and federal.

Do NOT rely on any info on 3rd party websites. Use Handgunlaw.us only to link to the specific state's website to read the laws for yourself. It's a great resource, but always look for "primary source" information.
