How to be Licensed to Carry a Concealed Weapon or Firearm in the State of Florida

In 1987, Florida became the first state to begin issuing concealed weapons/firearm licenses, thus allowing qualified individuals to arm themselves in a concealed manner for lawful self-defense. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services - Division of Licensing regulates the program.

The pamphlet How to be Licensed To Carry A Concealed Weapon or Firearm provides the basic information regarding the qualifications for licensure and the procedures for applying for a concealed weapon/firearm license.

The pamphlet Questions and Answers Pertaining To The Use of Deadly Force for Lawful Self-Defense has answers to some commonly asked questions pertaining to the use of deadly force for lawful self-defense. For complete details and a full explanation of all the requirements, please refer to the Application for Concealed Weapon/Firearm License and Section 790.06, Florida Statutes.
