PermittedNo permit is needed at 21 or older. You must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and meet Florida's other license criteria, such as no felony record. Visitors who are U.S. residents are covered. Under 21 is unsettled: a June 2026 appeals ruling (Eubanks v. State) struck down the age-21 minimum for ages 18 to 20, but the statute still reads 21 and how Florida will apply the ruling is unconfirmed. If you are under 21 and not a visiting servicemember or veteran covered by the military exemption in the recognition statute, treat concealed carry as not allowed.
