With Florida passing permitless carry will they still issue an actual permit? Is My Florida permit still valid in states that accepted them and can I get it renewed when time so I'll have one to show if needed?

It'll remain valid & don't forget that if you go permitless, you're subject to the FL waiting periods again. Maintaining it forever is the most prudent route as it offers additional benefits such as the aforementioned reciprocity in other States that other posters noted.With Florida passing permitless carry will they still issue an actual permit?

There's also a rather steep learning curve for permitless/constitutional carry, both within the State, and if you're stopped in another State for say a traffic violation. That learning curve generally applies to law enforcement, and to non-gun owners especially in retail businesses. You can expect to see a lot of shiny new "no guns allowed" signs on store fronts for a year or so. Some anti-gun judges, mayors, etc. will resist this, and will have to be re-educated by the State Supreme Court or the Governors office.

I just got a renewal in the mail so I guess they will issue a card.With Florida passing permitless carry will they still issue an actual permit? Is My Florida permit still valid in states that accepted them and can I get it renewed when time so I'll have one to show if needed?
PS, you can renew online but ONLY if you received the renewal application in the mail (you need the tracking number on it) AND you need to upload a pic, and can pay with CC.
