However in my opinion if you're going to carry in Florida, then getting a permit is a smart move. For one thing Florida has reciprocity with a lot of other states. A Florida permit is good in those states, which may not have constitutional carry. Another reason is that laws differ from state to state, and the Florida permit class is supposed to cover that as well. What was legal in Massachusetts may not be legal in Florida, and vice versa.
Another benefit is that there is no three day wait to purchase a firearm.
