FLORIDA DUTY TO INFORM LICENSE
Any situation in which you are being asked to produce identification or are being held without the ability to simply walk away may obligate you to explain that you are carrying a firearm and to show your license or permit to carry. One law that often confuses firearm carriers concerns the “duty to inform.”Ī “duty to inform” law generally requires you to notify an officer that you are carrying a firearm and that you have a license or permit to do so when the officer temporarily detains you. There are a variety of state and federal laws you need to know.
In this article, we’ll talk about “duty to inform” laws and how open or concealed firearm carriers need to be prepared to handle law enforcement interactions safely and correctly. A traffic stop is the wrong time to find out that you have a duty to inform the police of the presence of your openly carried or concealed weapon. If you have an encounter with law enforcement, do you have to tell them you’re carrying a firearm or that you have a valid license or permit to carry? If there is a legal requirement where you live, failing to do so might mean losing your license or permit, or being charged with a crime.
