I am driving to Florida Sat There is a large gun show in the middle of March in Miami. They offer this course that will help get me certified then help get you full carry permit as a nonresident. This is what they do for $140. It Sounds like alot but I would not need NRA certification which I would have to do here in Suffolk that would cost $130-$150.
This is what they do...Florida excepts the Certification

Florida has a training requirement that you must fulfill and provide proof of when you submit your Florida CWP application....I'm not sure what you are getting at here? :-/

I would generally tend to distrust a class that claims to be for the purpose of "keeping me safe and out of trouble" and has grammatical errors throughout their FAQs...

Here's one more I found at a another Gun Show I will attend March 20 and 21st In West Palm Beach. Slightly cheaper but not with electronic finger prints and Notary. I will most likely take this one I already have a fingerprint card (If they accept it which I will look into first) then the notary I can get at my bank and photo I'll find a place. I hope to save $90 which I could put to buying stuff. ;D ;D
