I’m not even aware of a scientific definition of nostalgia, or any way to verify detect its presence. Which means that afaik, there’s no way to know what they do and don’t experience in that regard.
However, I’ve been around a lot of dogs over the years. One of the things that’s pretty consistent is that, while their memory is better than they get credit for, they don’t seem to have emotional responses to memory when it isn’t trauma related.
In other words, they don’t exhibit behaviors to indicate that they’re thinking about the past when engaging with something in the present. They seem to live in the present until and unless something happens that sets off a fear response related to past events.
That being said, I have also had a dog react strongly when the name of another animal was used in their presence, when that other animal was no longer in their life. The dog in specific that I saw this in would spend time after hearing the name looking for the missing animal, and eventually settle down extra close to people and exhibit behaviors that mimic sadness behaviors when humans do them. But it never insured lasted for long, and anything positive at all would break them out of it immediately.
That isn’t the same as nostalgia. I’m using it as an example of why I don’t think they experience nostalgia. But it also points to them having a much deeper set of memories than we usually think of them as having.
First, never take internet answers as fact, because skipping talking to a lawyer can end up making you need a lawyer.
That being said, while Florida has switched to no permit needed in state, as long as you carry and present on demand a legal ID, that does not extend out of state. You still need that permit for reciprocity.
I had heard that the backlog of old applications was moving along better there because there’s less applications now, leaving more manpower to handle things.
However, if you’re fucking with cops, you’re going to get fucked by cops. Remember, open carry is still illegal, and you must present ID on demand if carrying concealed. Just the permit isn’t enough. Iirc, you also have a duty to notify when carrying, so it isn’t like you only have to deal with it if they ask if you’re armed.
