Form FDACS-16036 Application for Concealed Weapon or Firearm License - Florida
What Is Form FDACS-16036?
Form FDACS-16036, Application for Concealed Weapon or Firearm License , is a formal document Florida residents and eligible non-residents need to file to obtain permission to carry a weapon of their choice in a concealed manner. Before any individual may have a concealed gun in their possession, they must apply for a specific license at the regional office of the Florida Division of Licensing, send an application by traditional mail, or send their request electronically via mylicensesite.com. Florida is a so-called "shall-issue" state which means the license is subject to meeting certain criteria - you need to submit to the authorities the information about your military history and potential criminal issues you might have had in the past.
