CCW Permits in Florida Issuance Rates
Population 13,277,000
% of Floridians All - 62.7%
Who Own Guns Male - 68.8%
Female - 57.3%

# of Permit Applications 239,411
Permits Issued 227,569
Permits Revoked Due To 18 (0.008%)
Crime With Firearm Present
During the 6-1/2 year period from 10/01/87 (start-up date) through
05/31/94, 227,569 CCW permits have been issued -- 69% new permits;
31% permit renewals. Less than one-quarter of 1% of permit
applications have been rejected due to an applicant's criminal
history; less than two-tenths of 1% have been rejected due to an
"incomplete application." Two hundred permits (less than one-tenth
of 1%) have been revoked because a permit holder committed some
kind of a crime, though not necessarily a gun-related or violent
crime. Only 18 (less than 0.008%) permits have been revoked because
a permit holder committed a crime (not necessarily violent) in
which a firearm was present, though not necessarily used.
By contrast, the FBI reports that each year there are about 46,000
gun-related violent crimes (assaults, robberies, homicides and
rapes) in Florida.
