Perhaps your circumstances are such that you would feel safer carrying a weapon. The constitution under the second amendment allows you to carry arms in order to protect yourself. However, there are some guidelines to be followed in doing so.

Florida has certain requirements to obtain a concealed carry license. Those requirements include:

• Being at least 21 years old (unless in the armed forces).
• A U.S. citizen or a permanent resident alien and currently residing in the United States.
• Provide a certificate of completion from a licensed firearm training class to display competency.
• No disqualifying criminal record.
• You must complete the application, submit payment, and provide fingerprints.

If wanting to obtain a concealed carry permit, certain criminal convictions and charges will stop you. For instance, if you have a misdemeanor on your record, you must wait 3 years before becoming eligible. However, if the misdemeanor is for domestic violence, due to the nature of the crime, you are not eligible for a permit. Lastly, if you have a felony conviction, Florida or federal, you are not eligible for a permit. If the charge, however, results in a withholding adjudication, you must wait 3 years before becoming eligible.

Concealed carry permits are not necessary in every situation. If without a concealed carry permit, you may have a weapon:

• In your home or business (pertaining specifically to business owners)
• Transporting to another location.
• Standing your ground in self-defense.

Otherwise, including when transporting, the firearm must be in a secured case that is not readily accessible. If caught carrying a firearm on your person without a concealed carry permit, it is considered a first-degree misdemeanor, resulting in up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
