In the OP's case, FedEx clearly does not allow delivery to a nonlicensee. The exception that allowed a manufacturer to return your firearm via FedEx does not apply to the OP's situation.

I do believe FL will recognize a FLORIDA non-resident permit...
From their site... 'No. Florida, like Michigan and New Hampshire, has a residency requirement in its reciprocity law. Florida does not recognize non-resident concealed carry permits from other states.' Note the word OTHER. http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/new...led_carry.html |

It would be silly for Florida to sell Non resident permits that don't work in Florida... what Florida does not recognize is non-resident permits from OTHER states...
now to throw what I believe is a perfectly legal option for you. As far as I can tell per the BAFTE, while you are living at your condo in Florida you are a legal resident of that state as far as firearm ownership and purchases are concerned. Of course you will not be able to purchase a handgun from a Florida FFL because you will not have the proper ID / paperwork... but I believe you can legally purchase one from a private individual who is also a resident of Florida while you legally are there. Now to clarify, I am not promoting you break any law, state or federal. This is how I read the federal laws.. that if you have a home in a state then you are a resident of that state while you are living there. |

As I read the info that you referenced and the FL CCW info on their website, if you have a Fl NR CCP, then you are good to go. But I know even less than most of the legal experts here. I would talk to someone at the FL AG office and get specifically clear. If they are as informative as the AG reps in my own state, you will get scoop you can really believe. I know some of the experts on TFL forum will tell you to get it in writing, as they may be skeptical, but I have a hunch that you have covered your bases. I doubt you will get anything in writing from the AG office in less than 30 days, but you might at least get a name and number to have that warm, fuzzy feeling. My ignorant and uneducated guess is that any reasonable LEO will feel that you acted with diligence. I am no lawyer, but then neither are most of the experts you will hear from on TFL. You will need to do your own homework, and I think you are close to being finished.

Otay, I'm going to declare myself an 'expert' in regards to this.
You can legally conceal carry in Florida with a nonresident permit issued by Florida. You can not legally conceal carry in Florida with a nonresident permit issued by any other state. Florida does recognize other state's permits issued to residents of the same state... you can find a list of these here: http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/new...led_carry.html |

My $0.02 worth of legal advice...
Because that's all it may be worth, lol, ....
I don't have a JD but to my legal understanding, you can express mail handguns to gunsmiths or to the firearm factory for repairs/service under the Gun Control Act of 1968. FWIW; I sent a Beretta 96D(unloaded) & 3 11rd Beretta pistol magazines to Robar Guns; www.RobarGuns.com in AZ using a FedEx Office store(AKA Kinko's). The shipment clerks-staff never asked me Jack #%+* and didn't even open the plastic case. Robar expressed mailed me the custom 96D .40 pistol & related items(including the gun case) directly to my home address w/o incident. If you plan to travel to the sunshine state, I'd review www.Myfloridalegal.com or maybe www.Mylicensesite.com . Mylicensesite.com is a direct link to the Florida Div of Licensing. If it were me, I'd tote the firearm with me and leave it(secured) in sunny Florida. There have been a few scandals & arrests with Florida airport TSA staff/airline baggage crews but it still seems more prudent than express mail. ClydeFrog |

I prefer to use the FedEx service center. For me it's just as convenient as a Fedex-Kinko store, and usually less crowded. |

Side-bar, your Honor!....
You're correct in a way, I meant "express mail" NOT regular or USPS type mail.
To split even more hairs, the more common term is ATF, www.ATF.gov , not BATFE as some use it. I know the federal LE agency isn't a big fav with many gunners or the US public but the agency uses the name; ATF on the US DoJ(Dept of Justice) website. Have a great weekend! |
