I am a Florida resident with a Florida concealed weapon/firearm license.  Are there carry restrictions that I should observe while traveling?

Yes, there are fist of all, you should be aware that, as noted above, you are limited in many states as to the type of weapon that you can conceal.  Many states allow concealed carry of handguns or pistols only.

In addition, most states’ gun laws prohibit carrying concealed weapons into such places as schools, bars, courthouses and so on.  Generally speaking, the other states’ list are all quite similar to Florida’s.  Florida’s list of designated “No Carry” places is found in Section 790.06, Florida Statues.

A license planning to travel to another state should consult that state’s laws or call a law enforcement agency in that state to find out precisely what carry restrictions apply.
