Currently, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington D. C. do not recognize Florida’s concealed carry permits. This means your Florida permit will not allow you to legally carry a concealed firearm in these jurisdictions.
Before traveling to any of these states, carefully research their specific firearm laws. State regulations frequently change, so always confirm the current legal landscape before your trip. You might need to obtain a separate permit or comply with different requirements.
Consider consulting an attorney specializing in firearms law for personalized advice if you plan to travel to states that don’t have reciprocity with Florida. They can offer guidance based on your specific circumstances and destination.
Always prioritize safe firearm handling and storage, regardless of your location. Responsible gun ownership involves understanding and complying with all applicable laws.
