See a list of states with which Florida has reached reciprocity agreements. A Florida concealed weapon license is valid in any of these states, and concealed weapon licenses issued to residents of these states are valid in Florida; exceptions are noted.
On June 17, 2026, the Fourth District Court of Appeal of Florida ruled in Eubanks v. Florida (4D2025-1698) that Section 790.06(2)(b) of the Florida Statutes, which bars law-abiding adults aged 18 to 20 from obtaining concealed carry permits, is facially unconstitutional. The Attorney General's Office has indicated that they will not be seeking further review of the case. Because no other appellate court has considered the constitutionality of Section 790.06(2)(b), under NYSRPA v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) and United States v. Rahimi, 602 U.S. 681 (2024), the Fourth District's decision is effectively the law of the state. As such, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will issue concealed weapon licenses to applicants who are 18 years or older and meet all other eligibility requirements.
A nonresident of Florida who is a resident of the United States and is 21 years of age or older* may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm while visiting Florida if he or she:

*NOTE: The age requirement does not apply to a person who is a service member, as defined in Section 250.01, Florida Statutes, or is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces who was discharged under honorable conditions. These individuals may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm if they are 18 years of age or older.
