      PLEASE WATCH #HABERPA'S VIDEOFAQ # 419)  If I no longer need a Concealed Weapon Permit in Florida should I still get one? - https://youtu.be/yY5Z8UPHTxk


This Blog Post is intended to serve three purposes: First and foremost it's a PSA (i.e. a "Public Service Announcement" that's designed to provide the folks with important information), it's part of the rollout of the latest batch of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs highlighting # 419)  If I no longer need a Concealed Weapon Permit in Florida should I still get one? - https://youtu.be/yY5Z8UPHTxk and it's a shameless plug for #MichaelHaberLaw (#HaberPA's YouTube channel).  Disclosures complete let's get to it:

- The PSA: #HaberPA's VideoFAQ # 419 offers three reasons why you may want to get / keep a CWP even though Florida is now a "Constitutional Carry State".

Thanks for asking me “If I don’t need a CWP in Florida should I still get one?”

Before July 1st, 2023 if you wanted to carry a concealed a firearm or other deadly weapon in Florida then you needed to have a Concealed Weapons Permit. That meant you had to submit a notarized application to the Florida Department of Agriculture with a current photograph, fingerprints  and wherein you answered questions certifying under oath that you were qualified - or not disqualified - to apply for the permit. You had to pay $119 for the processing of your application, which included a thorough background check by the FDLE and you had to take at least a rudimentary, bad joke of a firearms class to “demonstrate competency with a firearm” and once issued you were authorized to conceal carry in any non-disqualified place, such as schools, courthouses and police stations.

But that was then, this is now and as of 2023 Florida is a Constitutional Carry State, which means that so long as you’re a qualified person - or, if you’re not a disqualified person - then you’re no longer subject to a “permit requirement” and you no longer need a Concealed Weapons Permit in Florida to carry a concealed a firearm or other deadly weapon in public. But, in order to lawfully Constitutionally Carry you still must be a person who would be granted a CWP if you were to apply for it; in other words if the DOA would deny you a CWP for any reason - be it that you’re younger than 21, you’re subject to a protective injunction, you’re a convicted felon or for any other disqualifying reason - then you can’t possess or carry a firearm or deadly weapon, be it concealed or open and be it in public or in private.

Assuming that you’re not a disqualified person (like a convicted felon), not carrying a disqualified weapon (like an automatic machine gun) and not in a disqualified place (like at a Courthouse) then you no longer need a CWP to conceal carry in public, but there are still three solid reasons to have a CWP:

First, if you come into contact with Police while armed then having a CWP should go far in easing the Officer’s mind, and this is so because the Cops know that if you have a permit then the State has fully vetted and authorized you to conceal carry and that fact alone usually reduces concerns for Officer Safety. Second, a CWP eliminates both the waiting period and background check requirements for firearms purchase. Finally, most States offer “reciprocity” and will honor CWPs from sister States so you can carry out-of-State without fear.

That said I thank you for your question and I appreciate your having asked it.  Please remember that at #HaberPA it’s all about reasonable doubt and if you like this video then please subscribe to our YouTube channel / VideoFAQ as we’ll be putting out more soon!

     PLEASE WATCH #HABERPA'S VIDEOFAQ # 418)  What are the Rules about Buying a Gun in Florida? - https://youtu.be/UqP7F-xcQkM


This Blog Post is intended to serve three purposes: First and foremost it's a PSA (i.e. a "Public Service Announcement" that's designed to provide the folks with important information), it's part of the rollout of the latest batch of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs highlighting # 418)  What are the Rules about Possessing a Gun in Florida? - https://youtu.be/UqP7F-xcQkM and it's a shameless plug for #MichaelHaberLaw (#HaberPA's YouTube channel).  Disclosures complete let's get to it:

- The PSA: #HaberPA's VideoFAQ # 418 explains the Rules for Buying a Firearm in the newly "Constitutional Carry" State of Florida.

Thanks for asking me “What are the Rules about Buying a Gun in Florida?”

Florida is a Constitutional Carry State, meaning that there’s no longer a “permit requirement” to carry a concealed a firearm in public, but Constitutional Carry doesn’t mean that anyone can carry anything anywhere; rather it means that non-disqualified persons can carry non-disqualified weapons in non-disqualified places without applying, paying for and securing a Concealed Weapons Permit. Further, Constitutional Carry doesn’t mean “Constitutional Purchase”; rather there are strict rules, both State and Federal, for purchasing any firearm.

The first rule is the simplest rule, and it’s that you can’t be a disqualified person, but since I’ve got another VideoFAQ (# 417) which discusses the many purchase disqualifiers I’ll leave that here and get onto the other hard rules for buying a gun in FL (note that you can find them all on the FDLE’s website at the page entitled “Requirements to Purchase a Firearm”)

1) You must be at least 21 years of age.

2) You must be a Florida resident.

3) You must produce a valid ID.

4) You must fill out and execute a sworn ATF Form 4473;

5) You must pass a background check; and

6) There’s a mandatory 3 day waiting period, excluding weekends and state holidays, between purchase and delivery of all firearms (but note that Alachua, Broward, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties have extended the waiting period from 3 to 5 days). 

There are some exceptions to firearm purchase rules in FL, for instance: If you have a Concealed Weapons Permit then both the background check and waiting period requirements are waived - the reason for this is that by securing a CWP you’ve already been fully vetted and approved by the State to purchase, possess and to conceal carry. That said you can rest assured that the Department of Agriculture (which is the assigned regulatory agency in FL) actively monitors all licensees and rapidly suspends CWPs for things like Felony Arrests, issuance of Protective Injunctions and Mental Health Commitments.

That said I thank you for your question and I appreciate your having asked it.  Please remember that at #HaberPA it’s all about reasonable doubt and if you like this video then please subscribe to our YouTube channel / VideoFAQ as we’ll be putting out more soon!

    PLEASE WATCH #HABERPA'S VIDEOFAQ # 417)  What are the Rules about Possessing a Gun in Florida? - https://youtu.be/UOiorCOuGpk

- The PSA: #HaberPA's VideoFAQ # 417 explains the Rules for Possessing a Firearm in the newly "Constitutional Carry" State of Florida.

Thanks for asking me “What are the Rules about Possessing a Gun in Florida?”

The simplest way to for me explain the rules for lawful possession of a gun in Florida is to say that IF you were to apply for a Concealed Weapons Permit and IF your application were to be approved then since Florida is a Constitutional Carry State you wouldn’t need a CWP to lawfully carry a lawful weapon in a lawful place. Of course this assumes your eligibility so let’s identify disqualifiers. 

DISQUALIFIED PERSONS in FL are those under 21 years old, non- US citizens / legal residents, those without a provable physical ability to safely handle a gun, convicted felons, anyone with a withhold of adjudication for any violent crime less than 3 years after their sentence is complete, those with a record of drug or alcohol abuse (which includes a conviction for violating any controlled substance law and those with multiple arrests for drug offenses), anyone with 2 or more DUI convictions within the past 3 years, those committed to a mental institution, adjudged incompetent or mentally defective, anyone  subject to an injunction for  Domestic Violence or Repeat Violence, anyone who was dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces, fugitives from justice and those who fail to provide proof of proficiency with a firearm.

DISQUALIFIED WEAPONS in FL include all automatic machine guns, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, “destructive devices” like bombs or grenades, and specific types of ammunition like armor-piercing or exploding bullets.

DISQUALIFIED PLACES in FL include Police, Sheriff and Highway Patrol Stations; detention facilities, prisons and jails, courthouses; polling places; all school and college campus; extracurricular school events like field trips and sport’s competitions, any professional athletic event, all government meetings, be them local, municipal, county, state, school board, special district or other, all bars and some restaurants and upon any federally owned property.

While this video identifies many rules about gun possession in Florida there are exceptions to all of them: for instance while you have to be 21 to buy a gun in Florida an 18 y/o can lawfully possess a rifle; if you have a federal ATF permit then you may be able to possess otherwise disqualified weapons and Judges can pack heat while on the Bench (which is reason # 147 for you to behave in Court).

A complete list of all disqualifiers can be found at Florida Statute 790.06(12)(a))

   PLEASE WATCH #HABERPA'S VIDEOFAQ # 416)  What does “Constitutional Carry” mean? - https://youtu.be/nz5oqR1I75o


This Blog Post is intended to serve three purposes: First and foremost it's a PSA (i.e. a "Public Service Announcement" that's designed to provide the folks with important information), it's part of the rollout of the latest batch of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs highlighting # 416)  What does “Constitutional Carry” mean? - https://youtu.be/nz5oqR1I75o and it's a shameless plug for #MichaelHaberLaw (#HaberPA's YouTube channel).  Disclosures complete let's get to it:

- The PSA: #HaberPA's VideoFAQ # 416 explains both what "Constitutional Carry" means and what it doesn't mean (i.e. what you can and can't do in a Constitutional Carry State).


Thanks for asking me “What does “Constitutional Carry” mean?”

Before answering this please allow me a brief history lesson: Because they lived under the rule of a tyrannical monarch, our Founding Fathers were determined to create a "government of the people, by the people, for the people", and in their effort at ensuring that citizens would be able to “actively deter domestic rebellions and potential government tyranny” they ratified The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which, in pertinent part, states “...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  

As plain and unambiguous as that language reads, over time the Supreme Court has allowed certain infringements on “...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”. For instance: SCOTUS has permitted the placement of minimum age limits on folks who can possess firearms, has disqualified certain categories of people from possessing guns (for example convicted felons) and has authorized both “waiting periods” and background checks on would-be gun purchasers.

Still, the US Constitution and the Supreme Court establish federal baselines that set minimum standards and leave all 50 individual States free to establish their own rules, which can and do vary, sometimes greatly. For example: California arguably imposes the most rigorous permitting, purchasing, and manufacturing restrictions on both persons and weapons whereas Montana has among the fewest bureaucratic hurdles and least restrictive requirements in the nation.

Anyhow, the term “Constitutional Carry” simply means that a State has removed a “permit requirement” to carry a concealed a firearm in public. It DOESN’T mean that anyone can carry anything anywhere; it means that non-disqualified persons can carry non-disqualified weapons in non-disqualified places without applying, paying for and securing a Concealed Weapons Permit. 

The way I like to sum up “Constitutional Carry” is to say that if you were to apply for a CWP and if you were to be approved then you don’t need a CWP in a Constitutional Carry State; however, if you’d be denied a permit then regardless of the reason why Constitutional Carry doesn’t apply to you and thus your possession of a firearm is a criminal act.

On a final note, as of 2026 there are 29 Constitutional Carry States in the US.

That said I thank you for your question and I appreciate your having asked it.  Please remember that at #HaberPA it’s all about reasonable doubt and if you like this video then please subscribe to our YouTube channel / VideoFAQ as we’ll be putting out more soon!

Each #HaberPA VideoFAQ focuses on a specific question, most are 1 - 2 minutes long, but several in this latest batch are closer to the 3 minute mark (another relevant aside alert: "Necessity" is what we call an "Affirmative Defense", or a defense which negates the "intent" or Mens Rea" element of an otherwise criminal act as the actor's illegal conduct only occurred under threat, usually threat of harm), and while we may not always be successful in our endeavor we do consistently strive to make each VideoFAQ short, pointed, creative, entertaining and, most importantly, informative.

While I conjure some of the "questions" that form our VideoFAQs a substantial portion of them are in fact inspired by real world questions from others (e.g. clients, potential clients, random folks on social media / the internet, friends, family, colleagues, etcetera).  Should you have a legal questions that you'd like #HaberPA to address then you're welcome - encouraged even - to SUBMIT it / them to me, be it by email (Sharky910@aol.com), calling or texting my cell phone (305-798-2220), messaging me on ‪X /‎Twitter, MeWe or Truth Social (@Sharky910), on YouTube (via MichaelHaberLaw) or PM'ing me on FB‬ (Miami.Criminal.Lawyer) and, assuming that your proposed topic is both appropriate and fits within our wheelhouse then I'll be happy to provide you with a custom tailored video answer to your relevant question.
