Actually OBG, here in florida you have to submit proof of competancy with firarms (a simple NRA handgun class is sufficent), a completed fingerprint card that HAS to be done by and signed off by a law enforcement officer, passport sized photo id, and your application. Along with a money order or cashiers check. I am pretty sure now they require proof of safe handling, i.e. A target or certified instructor's signature that the firearm was safely handled and discharged.
