Reply #50: When I first got my Florida CCW, a photocopy of a DD-214

[spin]

was proof of training.

The official Florida site that deals with CCW doesn't say that this meets current requirements but merely says:

Get verification of training that satisfies the training requirement. The application lists acceptable documents. Make a photocopy to send with the application as an original cannot be returned. Persons serving in the United States Armed Forces may submit a copy of their Military ID Card to satisfy the training requirement.

However this other less official site says:

16. I am retired military. Do I still need the course?
No. You just need to submit with your application a photocopy of your DD-214.
