Flordia is one of the states impossible for foreigners to get. I think the only states are Utah, New Hampshire, Maine, and Pennsylvania that there is a way for Canadians to get a CCW. I think Utah currently suspended giving foreigners permits and its under review. So that leaves the other three.
Basically, to get the NH permit you need a permit from another state. Maine is the easiest state for Canadians, because the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course, which is mandatory to get the handgun license in Canada, will satisfy their training requirements. So you send that in to Maine with a letter of good conduct and driver's abstract, and you should beable to get the Maine permit. Maine doesn't have good reciprocity though which is why its useless, buts it is needed for the NH which is a much better permit.
After that, you photocopy the Maine permit and send it to NH and they should issue the NH non-resident CCW permit. Hopefully Utah resolves there issues and starts issuing to Canadians again because that was a pretty good CCW in terms of reciprocity from what I hear.
It would be great if Canadians can get more CCWs from different states but it doesn't look like its gonna happen. I think its a fluke we have them as it is, and its no surprise that its mostly from states like NH, Maine, and PA that border Canada and are pretty dependent on Canadian tourists for their economies.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong, but some states see good citizen acts, some do not.
As far as I know, you do have a duty to help your fellow man, without putting yourself at risk.
I will push this question to a few of my buddies to see what the legalities are.
If it were me?
I would rather spend a lifetime in jail than walk on by and let someone be victimized because of my inaction.

True, I would probably intervene in any case. Worry about nationality later, I doubt it will be a problem. But the legalities are interesting nonetheless.
