Welcome to the High Noon Info Page. Let's examine the differences between carrying a firearm for protection with a Florida Concealed Carry License and the difference between carrying a firearm according to Constitutional Carry in Florida.
First, You are legal carrying with or without a FL CCW Permit. However, most people do not see the big picture. Those of you that have taken my class know how I emphasize being able to read the BIG PICTURE. What a lot of people miss, is that almost all are going to face some type of legal issues in the aftermath of using a weapon, If not criminal charges, almost 100% will face civil charges, from the person they took action against, the family of that person, the property owner, another person in the area, etc... Carrying a firearm is a major responsibility, knowing what the law is, what the statutes state, proper handling, safety etc..are all major requirements.
If you were involved in a lawsuit or ordered to appear in court, would you rather have a FL CCW Certificate issued by a Licensed Instructor and a State Issued License that is proof you have taken responsible steps to learn and understand the law, firearm safety and handling? What will YOU say when asked if you're a responsible gun owner? When you answer you may be adding zeroes to the back of that lawsuit number.
Protect yourself all the way around. Protect your assets as well. For the reasonable cost of obtaining a Florida Concealed Carry License, It makes sense.
