New to the site here, but I had a question and thought this might be the best place for it.
I grew up in New England and have been shooting since I was 8 (over 20 years). When I came of age to hunt with my family, I went through the hunter's safety course in Rhode Island, and passed. Years later, when I lived in Massachusetts, I got my class A CCW license, and did not need to undergo any sort of training because I had my hunter safety thing.
Now I live inFlorida, and since I lived for a while on University property and could not possess firearms, I had left all my guns in the care of family back up north. However, I'm moving to a real town soon, and would like to bring my guns down.
My question is: do I have to undergo a class here in Florida to get my concealed permit here in Florida, or will the training I received in RI OR the fact that I had a CCW from Taxachusetts serve as proof of training?
I know there is no reciprocity on the Mass. CCW, but I'm thinking maybe it would just show that I know which end goes bang and whatnot.
Oh, and as far as home storage, do I need a safe or are locked cases/trigger locks ok?
Thanks!
