Once you have your PR license you can ship from a gun store in FL to one close to you in PR.  I believe the FL permits are reciprocal so you won't have to do the training class again here.

You have to apply for the local 🇵🇷 gun license. It takes about 40 to 50 days to get thru the process unless you have a Protection Order from a local Judge then you get it immediately. Once you have your Puerto Rico gun license you can legally conceal carry guns in Puerto Rico you can import from Florida to P.R. but you need to have them registered thru REAL+ at the Airport Police Station or easiest way is once you get your local 🇵🇷 gun license is to ship all your weapons to a local FFL dealers there are many to choose from and each with different fees.  If you need additional guidance send me a private message.

I am moving from Florida to Puerto Rico in May. I have several weapons and not sure what the process is for this. I have a concealed carry permit and am prior military and law enforcement. Can anyone walk me through the process of getting them shipped?

Do you per chance have a contact number where I can call and get  complete info for the registration of my weapons and a link, website or email address where I can look up or request a list of the FFL in my area.  Appreciate any further assistance you can provide.
