A concealed weapon permit, also known as a concealed carry permit, allows an individual to carry a concealed firearm in public. Each state has its own laws regarding concealed carry permits, and some states have agreements with other states to recognize each other's permits. This is known as reciprocity.

Florida has reciprocity agreements with a number of other states, which means that if you have a Florida concealed weapon permit, you can legally carry a concealed firearm in these states as long as you follow all other applicable laws. It's important to note reciprocity agreements can change over time, so it's always a good idea to check with the state you will be visiting to confirm the current reciprocity status.

It's also worth noting that some states have specific requirements or restrictions for out-of-state concealed carry permit holders. For example, some states may only recognize a permit from another state if the permit holder is a resident of that state. It's important to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state you will be visiting before carrying a concealed firearm there.
