Yes. As of 7/01/2023, the FL HB 543 became effective. This Bill, commonly referred to as the Constitutional Carry or Permitless Carry Bill allows for those individuals that are legally eligible to possess a firearm and meet the criteria set forth in the bill to conceal carry a weapon or firearm in the State of Florida without a license by the state. As such, these individuals are also eligible for the 2A Legal Services Program and 2A Membership. We do, however, require members without a permit to watch a firearm safety video. Note: To carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm without a license, you must be eligible for a Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License based on the criteria in Section 790.06, F.S., except you are not required to complete training or pay a licensing fee. House Bill 543 includes criminal penalties for people who are not eligible to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm and are caught doing so.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) manages the program and processes all the applications. The FDACS website link for Concealed Weapons License information is: https://www.fdacs.gov/Consumer-Resources/Concealed-Weapon-License/Applying-for-a-Concealed-Weapon-License

First of all, you should be aware that it is your responsibility to know the laws in each state you are visiting or traveling through in regards to firearm possession and ownership. Some states recognize Florida's Concealed Weapon License (CWL), some do with exceptions, and others do not. In addition, many states have limits as to the type of weapon that you can conceal. Many states allow concealed carry of handguns or pistols only. Most states' gun laws prohibit carrying concealed weapons into such places as schools, bars, courthouses and so on. Questions regarding the state's laws should be directed to the law enforcement agency in that state to find out precisely what carry restrictions apply.

2A Legal has an interactive map for 2A Members that will allow you to easily see which states recognize Florida's CWL, what exemptions they have, if any, and also link you to the states' website pages for contact information and detailed firearm laws in that state. It also provides information on what states do not recognize Florida's CWL. 2A Legal Members can access this site with your login credentials. Join today for access!
