The first step is the Basic Personal Protection Course, which takes eight hours. This is normally done in two four-hour sessions on two days. Once you complete this course, you get a certificate from us, which you take to the Department of Safety, at a Driver's License Examining Station. They will fingerprint and photograph you, do a background investigation, and issue you a Handgun Carry Permit, in 60 to 90 days.

Your permit is valid anywhere in the State of Tennessee. As of January 1, 2005 it is valid in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming.

Like most states, Florida does not register guns, or license owners. If you intend to carry a gun for protection off your property, you should obtain a Florida Concealed Weapons License. The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office has the paperwork at our offices in Crestview, Shalimar, Destin, and Santa Rosa Mall. In order to obtain a license, you must be a US citizen (not necessarily a resident of Florida), at least 21 years of age, and be able to document some firearms training. See similar questions...

Some Trooper's in the Greater Minnesota regions are also issued a semi-automatic rifle. I’ve been called by a fundraiser who tells me they are collecting money on behalf of the Minnesota State Patrol Trooper’s Association (MSPTA). Is this true?” In almost all cases, I would yes.
