The certification you receive from The Academy of Personal Defense Online is not a license or permit to carry a handgun. To secure a permit it is your sole responsibility to apply to the state of Florida and submit all paperwork required either by mail or in person at your local division of licensing along with any fees the state charges. It is your responsibility to research and understand your local laws as it relates to handgun ownership and concealed carry.
