I guess she finally got was given the green light which means Democrats feel they have a chance to pass the lot of Gun Control bills they already have.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CNS) — Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried is asking the state legislature to implement sweeping changes to the concealed carry process in Florida.
She wants to keep fingerprints for concealed carry holders on file for five years and also reduce the renewal period from seven to five years.
In addition she wants to require applicants take a concealed carry course each time they renew their license, not just when they first apply.
Commissioner of Agriculture proposes sweeping changes to concealed carry
I seen to recall that the augmentation from the original 5 year term to the 7 year term came because all the processes required to issue the CWL, from background checks to printing the card had come down in cost and full update of the computers was achieved so, rather than reduce the fees, they extended the duration bring the yearly cost to a similar range as other states. But that was when we had a commissioner who was actually in favor of the citizens of Florida, not this Democrat pot smoker (allegedly) .
So be ready, I am sure there is a bill being written. And don’t forget we already have a bill where you would need to go through a mental health evaluation to get a CWL.
