what are the restrictions to carry a concealed weapons in Florida
Improving answer: a good website for each state's gun carry laws is www dot hand gun law. Or something like that. There's a website out there with color-coded maps, summaries of each state's laws, lists of places that are 0ff-limits even to people with gun carry permits, and other useful info.
I have a Georgia gun carry permit and we have reciprocity with Florida. So when I go to Florida, I can carry, but I have to obey all Florida's rules and laws when in that state, even if they're different from our Georgia laws that I'm used to. For example, in Florida the gun has to stay CONCEALED, not carried openly and exposed (unless you're actually on the firing line at a range). And in Florida, you can't carry a gun in a park (it would be legal to carry in a park in Georgia, with a permit). Florida also bans civilians with guns from going to a bar or that portion of a restaurant that is used as a bar. So you can eat at Applebees as long as you sit at a regular table, not on a stool at the bar.
There may be other important things to know about Florida's gun carry laws. It's worth looking into.
No, there are some places off-limits by law, even with a permit...all states have a few. According to handgunlaw.us, in Florida, the places off limits are:
· Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05
· any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station;
· any detention facility, prison, or jail;
· any courthouse; any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her
courtroom;
· any polling place;
· any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district;
· any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof;
· any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms;
· any school administration building;
· any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;
· any elementary or secondary school facility;
· any area vocational-technical center;
· any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or non-lethal electric weapon or
device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile;
· inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment
for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported
If you have been issued a permit for Concealed Carry, yes.
No. Florida issues a concealed permit only, and does not allow open carry (except while hunting I think).
think 7 states dont allow Open Carry
probably not
Iowa Law requires that an individual have a permit to carry handguns. This permit is necessary for both open and concealed carry.
I assume you mean concealed. Not without a permit.
It's unlawful to openly carry a handgun in the state of SC. A bill has been recently introduced to openly carry without a permit.
Please refer to RCW 9.41.300, RCW 9.41.280, and RCW 70.108.150.
No. In Florida, you must have the gun concealed. There is not an exception for Tennessee residents.
Florida is not a traditional open carry state, so there is no provision permitting you to carry a firearm openly. If you have a concealed carry permit, you may carry a concealed firearm. However, you need the services of a lawyer to work out the finer points of this. In a number of states, if you are carrying a gun to a repossession on private property, you're obligated to inform them that you're carrying, and they have the right to restrict you from carrying a firearm on their property.
Not legally. Florida requires a permit to carry a gun on your person in public.
Yes, Florida recognizes Tennessee's permit.
No. If you are buying a firearm from a dealer, this check is regulated by Federal law. A permit to carry (usually to carry a concealed firearm) is regulated by State law. That process varies from state to state.
It is legal to carry a firearm into a bank in Wyoming as long as the person is a peace officer or possesses a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm.
