I applied for a non-resident concealed weapons permit from Viginia and Florida. Received the one from Virgina but Florida kicked my application back because I had my fingerprints done at one of those commercial businesses here in Anchorage. The letter says they must be done by a law enforcement agency. Was wondering if anyone else had applied for one and what did you do for fingerprints?

Originally posted by FL2AK-Old Town View PostYup, that's a rule in Florida, and has been since the inception of the "shall issue" carry permit back in the 80's. You'll have to go to a law enforcement agency. Also, I'm surprised they even have a non resident ccw; it used to be residents only.

Originally posted by stiffnecked View PostNone that I know of that will do fingerprint cards. Maybe I'm talking to the wrong people but Anchorage PD and the State Troopers both said I should contact one of the private businesses that are doing fingerprints. That's what I did and that's what Florida rejected. That's why I asked the question.

BTW? Why does AK even have a CCW permit? Can't you just open carry or carry concealed without any permit at all?

Originally posted by FL2AK-Old Town View PostThat's where I did mine in '95, at the Hillsborough County Jail Annex in downtown Tampa. In fact, now that I'm thinking ofi t, the Hillsborough Country Sheriff's Office, at the time, wouldn't even do them. Since you're limited to two agencies in ANC, you're kind of hosed.

Originally posted by anchskier View PostPart of it is just because of the reciprocity issue. Other states, such as Florida I believe, will accept an Alaska CCW permit if you have one, but won't just let you carry there if you don't have one. I believe there are other "benefits" as well, or at least there were early on such as an expedited review process when purchasing some new firearms since you already had the background check done to get the permit (don't remember the details). Similar in concept to the express line at the TSA checkpoint in the airports these days.

Interesting side note: at that tiem, the 3 day wait also applied to sworn law enforcement officers who did not have a CCW permit. (At that time, they were allowed to carry concealed off duty as long as they had their badge, so some didn't bother getting CCW permits.) Many times I had to explain this to very angry officers, usually in uniform, who complained saying they were already armed and therefore shouldn't have to honor the 3 day wait.
