I get so mad when I repeatedly hear some one on the news in Jacksonville make the comment that such and such a gun was not "registered". THERE IS NO GUN REGISTRY IN FLORIDA. Rant off.

If you are into guns, you should definitely be a NRA member right now. This is the most important time to be a member. There is a lot of crap in the works that the new administration will try to get passed.

I'd have to say in my 40 something years, it certainly is.
The NRA is fighting the good fight and I am on their side.

First you have to take a class on gun saftey, then you write a written test, then you perform a practical test. After this you fill out 2 forms, one for long guns (unrestricted) and one for handguns (restricted). You then send these forms along with your proof of completing the saftey course and proof of being a registered member at a gun club (if applying for a handgun license) 3 character references, and a smiling picture of yourself

. They then do a full background check on you and see that you arn't in the loony bin or out to hurt anyone. If you are lucky you recieve your licence back in 3 months, if your not it can take much much longer. Once you get your license back you have the regional chief of firearms come over to your house and inspect that you have proper storage for your firearms as not to have them stolen (of course seprate facilities for guns and amunition). You then get to buy your guns. Rifles take about a couple days to have the registration filled out and handguns can take a week or two. You are now the proud owner of a gun. Oh wait there are even more resitrictions.
Handguns may only be transported from locked safe, to firing range in a locked container... this is to say there is no such thing as a permit to carry.
You are not allowed to own any automatic weapons (not a big surprise here) or converted automatic weapons of any kind. Any handgun must have a barrel that is 5" in length or more (no snub nose). Handguns have a maximum ammo cap at 10 rounds (even if they can hold more mags have to be converted to 10 max). Rifles can only have 5 rounds... No tactical/ zombie hunting weapons for me.

That is just flat out ridiculous.

Yep. I feel sorry for you Canadians. Here it takes about 5 minutes total.

Catfish · 03-10-2009, 04:51 AM

But, they do get access to some nice stogies. Nah, check that. I'll keep my guns.

Some believe the Constitution only applys in certain states. That is why organizations like the NRA are necessary.

This is off topic from your post, but I have a question. Isn't it legal to carry a firearm in your glove compartment in FL?

Only complaints I've ever heard of was that they were expensive.

Prices seem to be on par now that everything is rising. They seemed to have stayed the same or even decreased.

To order it you'll either need to be an 03FFL yourself, or have it shipped to an 01FFL.

Hell thanks to revision of CCW laws in Michigan, I can legally carry someone elses pistol. As long as they lend it to me and it's legally registered.

03-10-2009, 03:20 PM

Here is a good one. I am a FFL, and just got my new disk with all the state and federal laws on it. When I opened it up they are the 2007 laws. Last time I checked it is 2009.

Thrak · 03-10-2009, 03:25 PM

At least its not 1995 laws...

Yes it is, even if you do NOT have a CCW. The only requirement is that you have it in a holster with a strap, which doesn't make a lot of sense, but is the law.

I carried like this for years before finally getting my permit and was told to make sure to let a LEO know it's there if you get pulled over, which isn't actually a law.
