From the article:
“...The officers were searching for Mr. Filippidis‘
Florida-licensed, palm-size Kel-Tec .38 semi-automatic handgun...”
That IS what the article says.
Remember: Journalist accuracy with firearms matters is... suspect.
Florida doesn’t license guns.

Unfortunately, the author caused the confusion. If he had simply looked it up, he would have seen that Florida has no weapons registration. Only individuals are licensed to carry concealed. He probably used the owner’s description of the weapon itself — and probably still got that wrong.... the palm-sized Kel-Tec usually comes in the .380 which is a shorter cartridge then the standard .38.
