It is my understanding that Florida has reciprocity with Alabama CCW permit holders therefore making a non-resident permit unnecessary for me. I also understand that, in Florida, you must be 21 years old to get a CCW license. Well, here in Alabama, the minimum age is 18, and asa 19 year old, I have a permit and carry quite often. I also, as a resident of SOUTH Alabama, find myself in Florida quite often. Is my permit valid there as a 19 year old, or does the age requirement trump the reciprocity agreement?
I know no one here can offer official legal advice, but perhaps you could point me in the right direction to find this out. I'd rather not be arrested and put in a FL jail for something I thought was legal (of course, I WILL carry wherever I go... it's stupid not to, but the answer to this question will definitely affect HOW I carry).
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
