Waiting for you and your kind with open arms!

Congratulations! Having made a similar move nearly a decade ago, it’s still the best decision of my life; I think you’ll feel the same.

Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Man, you really picked a poor time of the year to move to Florida!
It is HOT and MUGGY this time of the year down there!!

But congrats on the move.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Make an appointment at a Florida Department of Agriculture office (that's the department that issues carry permits).

You'll need the standard proof of citizenship and Florida residence, documentation of completing a firearms safety course (NRA, DD-214, Hunter Safety, etc.), and your checkbook.

They will do the photo, digital fingerprints, and application right there. With an appointment you should be in and out within 45 minutes or so, and your carry permit will arrive in the mail. The statute allows them 90 days, but my wife and I received ours in 11 days.

Also, for Florida Driver License, bring passport and proof of residence. Passport will prove US citizenship, so you'll get the gold star Real ID thingy on the license. If you're a vet, bring proof like DD-214 and you'll get the Veteran indicator on the license.

Give me a shout when you arrive. You won't be that far from the gun club where I shoot. It's members only, I will be glad to host you for a shooting session there so you can see if you'd like to join.

Half dozen pistol bays, two shotgun areas (archery at those, some days), three rifle ranges. Nice shade at the pistol and rifle areas. Spouse and kids get a free ride on your membership, they don't pay to shoot.

When we moved out of L.A. in 1998 the news called it the "Flight of the White" Not sure what they call it now, but it was the best decision we ever made. Congrats on your move, I could see myself in FL someday.

I'll be up in Oregon all this week. I'll shoot you an email.

Not having a job is just weird. I feel guilty the whole time. Big Grin

Congratulations. May you enjoy your retirement for a long long time to come.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Safe travels. I did the escape from the west coast to FL. 1 year ago this weekend. Only Regret is not doing it years earlier. I’m up in the far western corner of the panhandle.

Congratulations and have a safe trip.
Email me when you get settled if you have any questions about the area.
At some point we could get together at the state range not far from either one of us for a range day then maybe a beer afterwords if you are beer people.
Safe travels and welcome to the sunshine state.
