FL Non-Res Acceptable Training Documentation?

I just received the application and instructions today for Florida's CCW and need some suggestions on training documentation to send them.

I have never gone through a Hunter Safety course of any kind nor had and formal training or participated in any formal competion. What would be the fastest, cheapest way to get a form of documentation that will satisfy Florida’s requirements?

I am new to all this so I may be "talking out of school". I would imagine any NRA approved instructor would meet the criteria.

Check you local gun shows

I took a short course offerred at a gun show. We then drove to a nearby range and performed the live fire. Less than four hours including time spent filling out paperwork.

I'm curious too. I've got a bunch of training through work and related... nothing with diplomas or certificates, etc. But I can document my training with signatures form my instructors.

I would suggest an NRA course, or hunter safety course. Military training (copy of DD 214) satisfies the requirement as well.

hmm i went here Find A Local NRA Safety Course and searched my area for NRA courses. They want $230 for basic firearm training or what they call "First Steps". That's a little bit steep for me. I haven't looked into DNR Hunters Saftey courses yet...

I just submitted my application last week. I took a CCW class in Nevada for my nonresident permit. That would work, but I sent a copy of my Hunter Safety Certificate. I was surprised to find it. I took it in 1978 when I was 15.

I read that you can submit affidavits from instructors that taught you. Please check the concealed carry permit booklet. I didn't read it in detail because it didn't pertain to me.

Good luck!
