For those of you with out of state conceal carry permits. Once you become a Florida resident your out of state permit is not valid. If you are from a state that Florida recognizes and honors their permit, once you get a Florida Drivers License and become a permanent resident, your past home state permit is invalid. You need to get a resident Florida permit.

Your old perment can be used to obtain a Florida permit as it proves that you have had firearms training (?), along with some other prove as stated in the concealed carry statute, that you have had firearm training. That statement may or may not be valid, as some states have no training requirement what so ever. Florida also issues a non-resident Florida license, but you have to becareful as most states do not recognize a non-resident issued permit, most states require that you be a resident of the issuing state before they will recognize it.

Florida's permit is currently recognized by 35 other states, if you are a resident of Florida. Most of the 35 states do NOT recognize the permit if it is issued to a non-resident. So be sure that you know which states will recognize resident and/or non-resident permits from Florida before you travel out of Florida.
