NOTE: Even though Florida includes Vermont on its reciprocity list, Florida does not offer true reciprocity to Vermont residents. Vermont neither issues nor requires licenses to carry. Florida opines that because Vermont does not require permits of residents or non-residents, Florida residents can legally carry a firearm in Vermont. However, Florida reciprocity law requires an out-of-state resident to have a valid concealed carry permit issued by another state. Because Vermont does not issue permits, Florida takes the position that residents of Vermont cannot carry concealed in Florida. In other words, Florida residents can carry in Vermont, but Vermont residents cannot carry concealed in Florida.

Florida Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity List

Please note that regardless of the law in your State, any person carrying a concealed firearm in Florida must be 21 years-old or older. Some states issue concealed carry permits to persons under 21. Persons under the age of 21 are prohibited from carrying concealed in Florida, even if they have a valid CCW permit issued by a reciprocal state.
