Validity of out of state CWL in Florida

I had an interesting email question today from a resident of another state who had a CWL from a different state in which he did not reside.  He wondered if his out of state CWL was lawful in Florida.

My answer was that Florida Statute 790.015 requires an out-of-state CWL holder to be a resident of the State where the CWL was issued in order for it to be valid in Florida.  So --  this individual was not covered in Florida, even though his state of issuance was reciprocal.  Again -- that's because he was not a resident of that state.  On the other hand,  he could have obtained a Florida CWL under F.S. 790.06 which allows an out of state resident  to obtain a Florida CWL, no matter what state they are from.  Interesting little quirk in the law, and applies equally to several other reciprocal states if you're visiting there.  So, unless you're actually a Florida resident (which means you have the Fla drivers license or i/d card), if you visit a reciprocal state with a Florida CWL -- you might not be legal if you carry.
