The out of state carry law in FL is similar. I hold a CCW in GA and FL allows reciprocity. Because I hope to return to FL to live someday, I'd like to get a CCW for FL as well. It's a bit pricey, plus the cost of the certification which was not necessary for the GA permit.
For now, when I visit, I will just rely on the reciprocity laws. But, someday I look forward to all 52 states having CCW AND reciprocity in all 52 states!
