I received my Florida CCW (non-resident) one month to the day I dropped it in the mail. Not too bad. I've been without for six months because I let it lapse when I was deployed. I'm back to being happy.

I'm assuming that you didn't drive to FL to get your permit? How did you go about getting it? I have a lot of ties with the military / my wife living in Clearwater. I figured I would get one just out of GP and its a good thing to have.
go to this site, follow instructions and write your check, if you managed to get it right your permit will arrive shortly thereafterQuote:

Congrats and Welcome to the Forum ; )

It's pretty much what apvbguy stated. Request the packet, follow the directions, and send all documents and the check back. I'm assuming your current or former military- you can enclose your DD214, Hunters Education certificate, CCW certificate, or military ID (front and back). Some don't think you can provide a copy of your ID to a state govt but I believe you can. I provided a CCW and Hunters cert in lieu of my ID. I sent it via regular mail from Kansas.
Just for clarification Florida does not issue a "non resident" permit. They do issue a Florida permit to non residents though. Got one myself and I live in Arkansas. Not a big difference but it could have bearing in any law that states specifically "non resident" when describing a law or ordinance. Just a FYI.
That's pretty fast. I waited four weeks to the day up to three days ago, when I heard the changed message saying that the licence was printed and mailed off. So at this point I expect it in the mail any day, unless they sent it third class mail or ground UPS or something like thatQuote:

If you want free copies of your DD 214 & other records of military service go to this site -
About Military Service Records and Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs, DD Form 214
I didn't know anything about that, GH. I'll make a mental note on it.
I actually got my card CC License from Florida in the mail today. Month and five days from when they got the papers there, to I get the card. Could be better. Could be a lot worse. Apparently it's a lot worse in some places like South Carolina.
