Be careful about this - Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, West Virginia, South Carolina, and New Hampshire do NOT honor "non-resident" permits such as a NJ resident with a FL permit. I believe that WV just passed a new law opening them up to more reciprocity, though, so this may change for them.
No problem. I just wouldn't want to see any of you guys get busted thinking you were legally carrying based on a non-resident permit in a state that doesn't honor it...
unless you're planning to carry in the state of FL, I would get the Utah permit instead. Utah is better because it costs less and you don't have to send new fingerprints every couple of years. Utah also gives you 2 more states than FL (WA & MN). One drawback to Utah is that you can't carry in FL with the Utah permit and must have the FL permit to carry as a non-resident in FL. Another drawback is that you need to take a course given by a Utah instructor.
To get the Utah permit, which is better, you need to take a course taught by a Utah certified instructor. Thats where im out.
To get the florida permit, any course you ever took, including shotgun for hunting, which just shows you took some kind of gun training/safety class will do. With the florida issued permit, a couple of states will honor that permit, which one of them is PA.
With the insurance, as another member brought up, if you ever had to use your gun in self defense, you will still prob need to go to court which will prob cost 30 to 40 thousand. So im not sure what kind of insurance you would call, but im going to be looking into that. A def must for anyone who might want to carry. I will find the link to that post.
NJ notary is fine. Most PD's do not charge for fingerprinting.
