A: Unless you are on your own property, or are engaged in one of several enumerated outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, camping), you need to obtain a concealed-carry permit. Contact your local sheriff's office or police department.

A: I suggest you apply for a concealed carry permit. You will first need to complete a gun safety class and then you can apply at a regional office. You will need to bring a photo id along with your certificate showing you completed the gun safety class. zlawfirmfl.com
