Own a Handgun? Want to Conceal in More than your own State? Love Florida!

Illinois is about the WORST state in the Union for gun owners. Since I travel all the time, I have always wanted to take my gun with me, but would have had some problems.... not anymore in 32 states! Florida has an agreement with 32 states where even if you don't live in Florida, you can use this anyway. Below are the details.....  

 

I filled out the form on this link and got the paperwork in 2 days. http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/license/forms.html

Add in your personal info and then select the Concealed Weapon of Firearm Application, Quantity 1

Fill out the form PER THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET! Go to your local police department and have them fingerprint you, get a passport photo from the Post office for $15. Get a money order and send to Florida in the amount of $117 and in 90 days you have a permit to carry in 32 new states.

Here are the states where you can use your concealed license. http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/news/concealed_carry.html

Also, a guy said that Utah has a similar program which adds a few states to the list. I have not looked into it yet.

I bought a holster for my Glock 32 and light / laser and am going to buy a Springfield Armory 1911 Sub-Compact .45 to replace the .45 Glock I don’t like. I should have t by the end of the month. I can’t wait. Awesome for small power and conceal carry. It felt perfect in my hands today.

I can't wait for the license to get here. 90 days is a long time to process. Yea, the Magnum is a hefty gun. Might as well get a Desert Eagle and do more damage. The Magnum may be a bit big for concelaled carry. This small .45 will do just fine and my Glock 32C is a .357 Sig round and is on my side breaking in the new holster as I type. Can't wait to visit 32 other states..... Every state AROUND Illinois I can carry, but not here. It's a terrible law. Illinois is the only state that makes you cary a special FOID card showing that you are licensed to have it. 1 state out of fifty....
