Why is a Concealed Carry Training course a good ideas to obtain a concealed weapons permit?
1. Learning how and where can I “legally carry” in Florida.
2. No three/five day waiting period to purchase/pick up firearms.
3. A CWP allows the holder to carry across state lines and to thirty-eight other states that recognize and accept Florida CWP.
