CCW Class online? What is this... I don't even...

Over in our Florida Concealed forum, it is generally considered in "good form" to post up the relevant link to any particular law or statute when making 100% yes/no actions based on someone's question.

I've regularly wound up quoting the statute and where it can be found for open carrying under various conditions.

I've come to realize that there are probably more people who are unaware of fs 790.25.(3)(h) and (j) than actually know about it, at least in the civilian sector.

So, anytime it comes up in conversations, either online or in person, at least I've got the EXACT reference for things that I speak about in some knowledgeable manner.

It just avoids a lot of arguments and finger pointing. Know the facts and act/plan accordingly.

Makes things so much easier!

If you search for something and just can't find it (been there, got the tee-shirt) then ask up about it by all means!

Somebody's probably already found it!!

I just asked a simple question here: if anyone else had heard of any legit online class that would work in Florida for cwl - I have no idea what happened to this thread.

Well, now that you ask, I've never heard of an online class either!

Here it is man: http://mdgunsafety.com/ At least, this is what the article was talking about. I've heard that it is legit enough, but I dunno.

It may be a legit course for it's intended purpose in Maryland, but it is not a viable option for obtaining a CWFL in Florida.

Very true. However the requirement for an instructor attesting to observing a student safely handle and discharge a firearm does not apply to hunter safety courses. See 790.06(2)(h) below:

The author of the article got his training under subparagraph 3. A hunter's safety course is covered in subparagraph 1, therefore no documentation attesting to observation of the student safely handling and discharging a firearm is required.

Are you referring to presenting the evidence? For military, a DD Form 214. For competitive shooting, perhaps a certificate of participation. I don't know, I've never shot in competition.

for military I sent a photocopy of my common access card - which has my name, photo, rank, SSN (not anymore they don't), branch of service, and date of birth
