Good day all,
I was a resident of Florida with a Florida resident concealed carry permit. I since moved to Louisiana and established residency there. Can I continue to use my FL concealed permit as now a "non resident" of Florida?
Thanks,
It looks like you will have to have to be finger printed and go through a background and pass a proficiency test. They have to verify your identity. IDs can be faked.
and what if a person has never been fingerprinted before?
That is going to be up to the issuing agency, in this case Louisiana. I was fingerprinted as part of background checks at several commands over 25+ years. I had fingerprints done for Illinois CC, but they still wanted another set when I applied to volunteer at a local school. When I applied for Florida non-resident CC, I had to have another set done by my local police department which I had to mail to Florida. I think is to be sure of person's identity. Facial features change. Hair changes. Weight changes; although I am only 5 pounds above what I was when I first raised my right hand at GLakes in 1965. The face and hair did not do as well.
According to this US Concealed Carry Map if you hold a Florida resident permit you are legal in these states:

ephi287 didn't ask if he could use his FL permit in Louisiana.....read it again kids
However, Louisiana state law invalidates all other permits/licenses when a person becomes a Louisiana resident.
Sorry LCDR, not even close: he said:

He's asking this: Since I am no longer a resident of FL, when I return to FL to visit, can I still use my resident FL permit as a Non Resident permit IN Florida, or do I have to get another FL permit that clearly identifies me as a non resident of FL when I'm in Florida ?
I didn't say "Read it again" to be a jerk.....I said it because everybody assumed his question had something to do with Louisiana. That was just a statement of fact. He didn't ask about reciprocity either.....
OK. He can use his now non-resident Florida permit in any state that recognizes a non-resident Florida permit - which Louisiana does NOT for the OP since he became a resident of Louisiana. How's that?
Florida's license will change to a Non Resident when you give Dept. Of Agriculture your new LA address.
Florida's CWL do not have an address on them and do not state resident or non-resident. You would have to contact the Dept. Of Agriculture to give them your new address. It now becomes a non-resident CWL. It will still be good in the same states expect those that require the holder to reside in FL.NavyLCDR: to answer your first question, I didn't answer his question simply because I don't know the answer for sure. I could guess.....my guess would be that since he no longer resides in FL, his FL permit becomes worthless in FL, and he would need to apply for a FL non resident permit. I don't believe that his FL resident permit magically becomes a FL non-resident permit.....mainly because it would still say "Resident", and show an address in FL that he no longer lives at. My basis for that OPINION is common sense.....I'm not a lawyer or a 50 state concealed carry expert. I do know California law.....that's where my license to carry was issued.
Second, I never said your answer in post #11 was incorrect. I never said that anyone posted incorrect information. What I said was that nobody answered what was asked. Everyone jumped to the conclusion that he wanted to use is FL permit in Louisiana.
My apologies to anyone who was offended by my original suggestion to "read it again, kids"......
Best regards to you and all the others who have posted.
