Reputable Gunsmith Tampa

Looking for a reputable gunsmith who can take this fucking muzzle device off my Sig Spear LT.

Sig really did torque this bitch down and I’ve tried everything to get it off.

Thanks in advance.

Private ranges in the Palm Beach/Wellington area?

I am finally escaping a state with horribly annoying gun laws so I am very excited for my move to Florida. The one good thing I have up here currently is an awesome private range nearby that I can just drive into, shoot anywhere from 7 to 600 yards and not be bothered by anyone. Are there any ranges that exist like that in the Palm beach area?

Sportsman’s Club Open House

My club will be hosting a limited “open house” on June 1, 5-8pm in Palm City.

We will be shooting steel targets on my 1000y range. I am going to limit this event to a handful of experienced long range shooters, so I will need a little bit of info about your experience and equipment before I extend any invites. Anyone invited will need to provide their own transportation (SUV or truck, cars won’t make it), equipment, and at least 1 quart of water to drink (it’s gonna be hot and I’m not trying to deal with anyone falling out). If you are interested in attending, please send me a message.

Tactical Seamstress in Orlando area

Looking to get a couple of MOLLE panels sewn onto some bags. Any local recommendations or should I just go to any clothing alteration place and ask them?

Bonus points for recommendations for cool surplus/tacticool gear stores in the area.

Storage & Humidity

Have a couple new pistols I’ve maintained well for the past month but now need to travel OOC for the summer months. I will clean, clp and field strip them storing slide assemblies and FCUs separately in different “climate controlled” lockers.

Issue is “indoor, climate controlled” means temps up to 80 degrees which I highly doubt will do much to control the humidity in southern FL.

Assuming no floods/hurricanes/blackouts etc, will storing for a couple months in these conditions with simple CLP make for a rusted pistol when I return?

Question with how gifting a gun works

I’m currently 17 I turn 18 in less than 2 months and I’d like to own a firearm I’ve previously shot and used several guns growing up and im deciding on a 1911, g30 or possibly a m4 I’m not to educated in all the gun laws in fl and the ones I did know have since changed so would it be possible for a family member to give me one and what paperwork would be required and if it is do I have to wait till 21 to Concealed carry still

Moved to Virginia from Florida. AMAZING Virginia gun laws have spoiled me but I really want to move back to Florida.... What do? It's a damn novel so prepare yourselves, lol....

Wow... Anyways blah blah this is a long one I know TL;DR and all that, I get it, reading can be hard for some people or people just dont want to bother and want minimum effort in their interaction. So I'll move the gist of the whole thing RIGHT up here to the tippy top. Easy peasy.. Also, please note, all the information I have is from Pre-2008, in regards to CCW cost and procedure, and as far as I knew the only thing that changed regarding firearms was when Rick Scott screwed us.. I wasn't around for any post 2018 improvements so I wont have any knowledge of this.

So the title pretty much says it all. I used to live in Florida, thought the gun laws were great until I moved to Virginia and got spoiled by the open carry and lack of a wait period... BUT, I really REALLY want to move back to Florida because regardless of that shit, I really do miss it a lot. So I'm in quite the pickle... I lived in Florida during the worst of it back when all the anti-gun crap was signed into law by Rick Scott. So I'm trying to judge whether things have improved, and if you guys think they will continue to improve for gun owners in Florida beyond what it is now, which honestly, isn't great compared to other places but is perfectly acceptable when compared to other states. Hell, don't even get me started on the new "Constitutional Carry", which is really just permit-less concealed carry, throwing open carry under the bus for some reason even with a super conservative Republican governor and a majority Republicans in both the House and the Senate.. You'd think that would be a super prime recipe for getting some of our damn rights back, but I guess not? And people apparently are just okay with it? I don't know. What do yall think? I really want to move back, but Im really worried that post DeSantis, it's going to go to shit for the 2A in Florida with all the city slickin' Biden loving New Yorkers fleeing the repercussions of their voting habits only to inflict Florida with the same bullshit...

=============================================

Here's the REALLY really TL;DR, ADHD section below. Enjoy. lol

=============================================

Fuck it lol... Apparently the post was odd. So I deleted to story that details my personal position and my situation that I had for the context which was the novel.... So anyways, ADHD mode engaged here, in simplest terms possible... Have gun laws and the atmosphere regarding the 2A in Florida improved any since 2018 and how have concealed carry permit procedures changed since pre-2008 when it was more expensive and took longer (IF you know of course)?

Any ranges in the Central FL area where I can take a larger party to shoot?

Title. I live in Orlando and my girlfriend and I are the only people in my friend group with guns and who know how to shoot. A few of my friends approached my girlfriend and I asking if we would take them to a range and help teach them to shoot. Eventually this grew to a party of 6. In my opinion this is a bit big but I figured if I make people take turns and teach one by one it’d be manageable.

Is there anywhere I can take a group of this size or would I be better off doing two smaller range days?

Buying privately

I’ve come across a great deal on a home defense HK pistol that was advertised on FLguntrader. I paid the guy $30 as an intent to buy and a hold for me. Problem is, he’s in Panama City, FL. I’m in Tampa. He is willing to send it to an FFL of my choosing and let me send full payment once I receive and inspect the firearm. He wants to write a bill of sale and I kind of want one myself, just to have as I don’t know the history of the gun. He claims to have bought it new and never shot it. If for any reason it is stolen (doubtful, still in factory box etc), or has been used in a crime, I’d like to have the bill of sale just in case. He is asking me to send a pic of my CWP. Is this advisable and safe to do? I should mention I have yet to show him any proof that I am a FL resident.

Good places to shoot and move in the panhandle?

Coming from a state with BLM land where you can go out shoot and move and do what you want is it sorta of the same here? If not any ranges that have berms where I can setup and do drills?

Selling private

I am looking to sell privately in Hillsborough county. Buyer has a DL and is willing to sign a bill of sale. No CWP. I am going to ask to meet at a LGS that does FFL transfers and ask that he submit a background check before I sell. Doing all of this, I am covering all my bases correct? And far as I understand, though he does not have a CWP, because the sale is private, he doesn’t have to observe a wait period correct? Never sold a firearm before. Thank you in advance.

Out-of-state student? Anything different?

Hey all,

I've lived in FL for 2 years now as an out-of-state student. Will be here for another year and half or so. I have a FL driver's license. Is there anything different or restrictive for me to go about buying and registering as a person interested in being a first-time firearm owner? Not really interested in open/concealed carry, more for home protection and shooting range practice/learning. TY in advance

Open carry on private property over 18 under 21

Just some background I own one hand gun that was gifted to me. As the title says I was wondering if anybody knows if I can open carry it with me being over 18 but under 21 I was unsure and couldn't find anything about it in the laws. If it makes any difference I was wanting to carry it while at work I already checked with my boss and he said he was cool with it as long as it was legal

Customization

Anyone know a place in Central FL (352 Area) where I could take my Taurus G2C and have the slide repainted. Ngl I wanna get a gold slide but they don’t make them and gold spray paint looks like shit. Ik the G2C is a cheap gun but it’s done me good by my side, also might want the handle painted too

Shotguns on FWC Ranges

Can anybody tell me if I can fire a shotgun on an FWC rifle range? And if I could, should I or would it be considered rude by others shooting rifles?

Nearest one to me is Knights Trail.

Thanks!

Private sales.

Hello, I am a 18 year old Florida resident. I was scrolling through armslist through my step dad’s account and came upon a handgun. I was wondering is it illegal for a person to privately sell me a handgun in the state of Florida. Or is it legal? I see yes and no everywhere on the internet. Not sure at all.

Open carry while fishing on Sarasota county beaches

Has anyone had problems with open carrying on Sarasota County beaches while fishing? I know for a fact that you were legally able to open-carry while fishing here in the state of Florida. What I am worried about are a lot of the anti-gun locals and since we will be shark fishing, it is most likely going to be at night. Last thing I want to do is end up with some sort of felony trespassing charge, I don’t know when the beach is closed or even if they close at night and if it is considered a curfew on the beaches if they close. This is going to be my first time fishing while open carrying, just want to keep things legal and safe.

Wanting to purchase land to shoot on.

I'm trying to find land to buy in Central Florida that myself and a couple buddies can freely shoot on. I'd like to shoot what I want, how fast I want, and where I can shoot steel etc. I plan on putting a berm there. Trying to figure out the legality of it all is a mess when looking for land. If there was any type of hunting opportunity there (especially hog) that would be a plus. Anyone had any luck in doing something like this?
