FAQ'S

What is a Florida Class G firearms license?

 

A Florida Class G firearms license is a license that allows an individual to work as an armed security officer in Florida. This license is required for anyone who wants to carry a firearm while performing security duties for a private security agency or another employer.

To obtain a Class G firearms license in Florida, an individual must first obtain a Class D unarmed security officer license, which requires the completion of a 40-hour security officer training course. In addition to the training required for the Class D license, individuals who want to obtain a Class G license must complete an additional 28 hours of firearms training, which covers topics such as firearms safety, marksmanship, and the legal use of force.

Applicants for a Class G firearms license in Florida must also pass a background check and meet other eligibility requirements, such as being at least 21 years of age, having no felony convictions, and having a clean driving record.

It’s important to note that a Class G firearms license is not a concealed carry permit or a license to carry a firearm for personal protection. It is specifically for security officers who are authorized by their employer to carry a firearm while on duty.

What is a Florida Class D and G carry license?

 

There is no such thing as a “Florida Class D and G carry license.”

However, a Class D security license and a Class G firearms license are both required for an individual to work as an armed security officer in Florida. A Class D security license is required for anyone who wants to work as a security officer, regardless of whether they will be carrying a firearm or not. A Class G firearms license is required for anyone who wants to carry a firearm while performing security duties.

It’s important to note that a security officer who holds both a Class D and a Class G license may not necessarily be allowed to carry their firearm off-duty. To carry a firearm for personal protection in Florida, an individual must obtain a concealed weapons permit, which is issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The requirements for obtaining a concealed weapons permit are separate from the requirements for obtaining a Class G firearms license and may include additional training and background checks.

What is required for a Class G license in Florida?

 

To obtain a Class G firearms license in Florida, an individual must meet certain requirements and complete specific training. Here are the requirements and steps to obtain a Class G license:

  1. Be at least 21 years of age
  2. Hold a valid Class D security officer license
  3. Complete 28 hours of firearms training from a licensed firearms instructor or training school. The training includes topics such as firearm safety, marksmanship, and the legal use of force. The course must be approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
  4. Pass a written examination covering the course material
  5. Submit an application for the Class G license to FDACS, along with fingerprints and a fee.

Additionally, applicants must not have any disqualifying criminal history or mental health issues.

Once an individual has obtained a Class G license, they are authorized to carry a firearm while performing security duties as an armed security officer in Florida. It’s important to note that the license must be renewed every two years, and holders of the license are required to complete four hours of firearms requalification training annually to maintain their license.

How much does a Class G security license cost in Florida?

 

The cost of a Class G security license in Florida was $112. The fee is paid directly to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) when submitting the application for the license.

In addition to the license fee, there are other costs associated with obtaining a Class G security license in Florida, such as the cost of the required firearms training course and the cost of fingerprinting for the background check. The cost of the firearms training course can vary depending on the training provider but typically ranges from $200 to $500.

It’s important to budget for all of the costs associated with obtaining a Class G security license in Florida before beginning the process so that you can ensure that you have the necessary funds to complete all of the requirements.
