I had to default the State under F.S. 120.60, so I just issued myself my license. It feels good to be "official" after waiting 90 days.
In honor of receiving my license, I had to do the customary rite of passage: I took the old and famous "Default Walk" around the neighborhood, and I can tell you this:
Concealed Carry Sucks, comparatively speaking.
This was the first time I've carried fully concealed in many years. With the gun concealed, you're at such a dramatic disadvantage in a real fight. While any gun is better than no gun, getting past the clothing to get to the gun is a disaster waiting to happen. The chances of a clean draw are also severely frustrated because of the clothing covering the gun.
Further, the requirement to keep the gun fully covered rules out carrying the most effective guns such as milspec 1911 or a 6" revolver.
Open carry is so vastly preferable.
