Concealed carry permit

[jb90304]

I am 2yr temporary GC holder, which means I'm still waiting to apply for permanent residency and US citizenship in the future.
I'm considering getting a concealed carry permit in the state of FL and I do know for a fact that LEGALLY, applying for this permit cannot affect me negatively in any way, as it is a right. But I'm just here to ask... in reality, would they view me as more suspicious and make my further immigration process more difficult? I would like to hear from any of you here who have gone through the immigration process and have applied for the permit. Any other inputs will also be appreciated but don't just say things like "It shouldn't affect your process", because I know it shouldn't, I just want to hear from those who have gone through it in reality. Thanks

You need to pass background checks to get a concealed carry permit, so don't worry about there being any suspicion just by having it. I don't think that is even reported to immigration authorities.

Just do your best to stay out of situations where you might have to use the weapon, don't be like Zimmerman following around people who look suspicious. If you get charged, your green card renewal or citizenship application will be suspended until the case is resolved.
