What type of background check is performed for CWFL applicants in Florida?

State only
Federal only
Both state and federal
None required

The correct answer is: Both state and federal

In Florida, CWFL (Concealed Weapon or Firearm License) applicants undergo both state and federal background checks. A state-only check may not include all the necessary information, while a federal-only check may not include state-specific information. Therefore, to ensure a thorough and complete background check, both are required for CWFL applicants in Florida. It is also worth noting that a CWFL applicant must also pass a mental health evaluation. Option D (None required) is incorrect because a background check is indeed required for CWFL applicants. Option A (State only) and B (Federal only) are incorrect as these checks do not cover the full scope of information needed for a complete background check.
