Escambia County Expanded Concealed Weapon License Services Coming Soon
April 6, 2017
Escambia County Tax Collector Scott Lunsford has announced that residents renewing their concealed weapon license soon will be able to receive their renewed card the same day upon successful submission of their application. The first step in this process is the installation of new printers on Tuesday, April 11. Because of the installation of the new equipment, no concealed weapon license applications will be accepted from noon to 4:30 p.m. on that date.
“As an expansion of our partnership with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, we are installing the equipment necessary to print cards for those citizens renewing their concealed weapon license,” Lunsford said. “We are excited to be able to offer this additional service to our customers in the coming weeks once the final system updates are complete.”
While renewal licenses will be printed in the office, new applications still will be submitted to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for final approval. The statutory turnaround time for this process is within 90 days.
Currently, only our Warrington office, 4051 Barrancas Avenue, Suite A, provides concealed weapon licensing services. A

Hope this can be feasible to offer at all offices.
However, there are some strict requirements for privacy and security when applying for the Concealed Weapons License.
That could prevent some of the smaller offices from being able to offer this service.
One Day turnaround is Great….
Thank You, Mr. Lunsford…
when i got mine some years back, i had to go to the sheriffs office and get finger printed and a photo made. next came that long wait, it took a couple of months if memory serves me. then upon renewal i had to go to design i believe. they made it a real chore.
This is a good step but they need to make the initial application process available at all offices. It currently takes over a month to get an appointment.
