I'm thinking about the same for me, both non-resident of course. What differences, if any, are the requirements for the two? I have not done any investigation but I do know there's someone teaching Utah-compliant classes in my area.Pops said:
I think basically just the cost; maybe a minor addition of a particular state law for Fla.SkipD said:
I appreciate that, Pops. When I have a little more spare time (which is hard to come by even though I'm retired) I'll look into a local class that covers both state's requirements.Pops said:Both courses are almost the same only slight differences of where you can or can't carry in each state (I think each state wants to make sure each and every permit holder knows the different nuances of thier state regs). The FL permit cost $117 for 7 years and the Utah permit cost about $80 - 85 for 5 years. I took the classes together for about $100 plus an additional charge of about $25 for fingerprinting (LE taken) and notary public charges but offset the charges with about $5 worth of doughnuts and coffee!
If I had Utah and Florida permits, I could go most anywhere I would want to go. However, the real bummer is that I have to go through Illinois to get most anywhere I would want to go outside of Wisconsin (except for points northwest of here). That sucks because just getting caught with a handgun in the car (even if it's locked up and separated from the ammunition and magazines) is a situation that would not be at all fun.Pops said:I like the extra permits for when we travel in the car. Now if we could get the reciprocity between states....
Do you have a link to something that defines the details of the Federal rule you're referring to? I would definitely appreciate that.Pops said:
My understanding is that there are places (like Cook County) where pistols must be registered or the owner would be in violation by having it.bobnoffs said:
