Florida ccw proof of proficiency

[38P6]

I am a retired deputy sheriff from NY and live in Brevard County Florida. I have qualified with BCSO for the last 4 years in a row so that I can carry under HR 218. I would also like to get a regular Florida ccw. Does anyone know for sure if I can use the firearms proficiency verification cards from BCSO or my firearms training records from NY as proof of proficiency? I have not been able to get an answer from anyone the State of Florida. I can't believe with the training going I already have that I might have to go sit through the silly firearms course.

We recently moved to Florida. When I applied for a Concealed Weapon License, I presented my retired police identification; my most recent LEOSA qualification; my Washington State concealed handgun permit; and my NRA certifications, including Certified Pistol Instructor and Range Safety Officer. They disregarded or didn’t care about any of those credentials. Instead, the clerk looked at my new Florida Driver License and noticed the “V” on it. “Oh, you’re a veteran,” she said. “That’s good enough.” You should be fine.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just turn in copies of proficiency with your CCW application.
