Concealed Weapons Permit

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. For more information concerning the Florida Concealed Weapons License, visit the website of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapons/index.html
