My father explained it thus, many moons ago: If you're going to be carrying
firearms from one state into another, you have to obtain a license from all the
states involved--wherever you'll be carrying the firearm. If the target area
(pun unintended) doesn't allow concealed weapons, you can't have a concealed
weapon--it's up to the authorities of the place where you'll be. It's onerous,
but not an infringement of the right itself--it's just a few more ducks to get
in a row. Call the Florida state police, I'm sure they'll give you the scoop.
The Ohio cops were really nice about it, but that was 1982 or so.
I think LEOs (even off-duty) and people with Federal permits can carry
firearms across state lines without notification, though.
