I might have missed this but can you carry a rifle as long as you have a CCW permit? For example, can I carry an underfolder AK hidden in my backpack while walking around town with a CCW Permit?

On the fingerprint card for us out of state guys I have a few questions.
1. The "employer name and address" is that supposed to be the LEO doing the prints since it's below his signature line? or mine? 2. The "your number OCA" What is that? 3. The "FBI number" What's that? 4. The "Miscellaneous Number" What else would they be wanting here? |

But, from experience they think it should be your address. I've actually argued with an LEO at the station and when I pointed to the FBI website showing it was the LEO's Address he said the FBI website was incorrect. 2. The "your number OCA" What is that? 3. The "FBI number" What's that? 4. The "Miscellaneous Number" What else would they be wanting here? Nothing else you need to worry about ... |

I live in Hillsborough county and would like to hike at the Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve and Triple creek preserve, almost 6,000 acres of wilderness area that was purchased thru the ELAPP program. Some of these trails can be very remote and I would feel better if I had a handgun with me, also Florida Panther's have been spotted in this area. I do have an CWP.
After checking the site over (see link) I noticed the county has a policy of no firearms. Can the county set this kind of policy? I also hike the Alifia river state park and I don't see and rules against carring a handgun. http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/parks/resources/forms/parkservices/trails67.pdf |

State law 790.33 preempts all county and city laws when related to firearms and ammunition. They mean squat. Not only are they meaningless, but stiff penalties are in place if state law is violated. _________________ |

I have called the Punta Gorda, Tampa, and Orlando licensing offices to just be told that I would either need a dd-214 or an NRA safety course. Noone even knew this was an option. Are they looking for an RO course? Or would membership cards/score results be sufficient? |

This may have been answered but I will ask again because I almost got arrested 2 years ago over a pocket knife... Can I carry at the St. Lucie County Fair?? Their web site says:
Notice: The following may not be brought onto the fairgrounds Animals (except properly identified service animals), Outside Beverages, Alcoholic Beverages, Weapons, and Coolers. St Lucie County Fair staff and/or St. Lucie County Sherriff Deputies shall make the final determination as to whether an item may be brought onto the grounds. |

Unless the location is specifically listed under 790.06 (12) it is not a violation and you should not be charged. Notice I said "should not", unfortunately there are those who wear the badge that do not know the law as they should. If you are found to be in possession of a weapon while on private property and the owner or agent of the property tells you to leave do so immediately; if the item in question is a weapon under FL Statute and you fail to leave you can be charged with armed trespassing. |
