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.

Exactly...
I've have a FL "Non-Resident" permit for years and years.
It was very helpful carrying in over 30 other states. Funny, SC did not recognize FL's Non-Resident permit.
When I was there in July, my permit was due to expire, so I went to the Sumter County Public Safety Center in Pinellas Plaza and was able to renew my permit as a new FL resident, even though I'm still not full time there...
