In the state of Florida, there is a program called pre-trial intervention (PTI). PTI is part of a state program to reduce the number of first time offenders that are convicted. More importantly, it's a way to ensure you are not prosecuted for a crime and have the ability to have the arrest later expunged.

If you were arrested and completed PTI, you are eligible for a concealed carry permit. You will pass the background check even if you have not had your arrest record expunged. You will also pass the background check for a standard 4473 and/or an NFA background check.
