I have a Michigan CPL. I will be driving to Florida this spring. Will I have to disarm/rearm at State lines? Is there a shortcut to be able to carry in Florida without jumping through too many hoops?
I think someone was spoofing you about the border thing. Dougwg probably.:lol:
You're CPL is golden here in FL.
No printing. It must remain concealed.
No CC in the area of a restaurant that dispenses alcohol for consumption on the premises. In other words, don't sit in the "bar area". If it's not separated then I stay out of those restaurants.

Not completely accurate. Printing is certainly to be avoided, but there is no penalty or punishment involved in an unintentional exposure. Most LEOs will normally just tell you something is showing or ask to see your CWFL.
