You can apply for the first time, renew or replace a concealed weapon license at our Downtown Fort Myers office located at 2480 Thompson Street. An appointment is required.
On July 1, 2023, Florida House Bill 543 went into effect which removes the requirement for having a concealed firearm license to carry a concealed firearm in Florida. However, customers can still receive a license if they wish. The license is reciprocal in certain states and the three-day waiting period does not apply for Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License holders.
To see what is needed to obtain a CWL or renew, please look at these documents:
