I passed a class in preparation for receiving a carry permit<br>in Florida.<br><br>Although my class might be the exception, it was quite through. It<br>was taught by a county deputy (a Sgt) who was a very good <br>instructor. In fact, prior to starting the class, he gathered all<br>the name/dob/ssn of the folks signed up and ran a FDLE/NCIC<br>check. He wanted to know who he was instructing.<br><br>If I remember correctly, FDLE is the one issuing the carry<br>permit. Not any local authority, so there is a much broader<br>interest in who gets the permit. <br><br>I wish all states had similar programs. If drivers license are<br>good across state lines, then why not carry-permits? But<br>I digress.... :)<br><br>Jeff
