Florida is OK
The worst thing about Florida is people come here from...wherever, and that's okay, but the ones that make things difficult are the ones that came here from differant political climates. Being used to different rules, they start calling for stricter rules.:banghead:
I have noticed a tendancy for people to like Florida, then stay here, eventually trying to MAKE FLORIDA LIKE WHERE EVER THEY CAME FROM!
My neighbor is from CT. He's a redneck, of which he has no idea.
If you move here, don't have a large dog, or buy a double wide trailer, or have too many trees in your yard. If you do, the insurance companies won't insure your house.
We have many people settle here from New York, and they vote for the gun-banner of their choice, as is their right, but you get the picture.
Tourists are the reason we don't have Open Carry. They did it for one day and changed their minds because it scared the tourists.
Our state tax is paid by sales tax, at or about 7%.
Ranges are a little hard to come by, at least where I live. I have to drive at LEAST an hour to go somewhere to shoot, so I don't go anymore.
It is easy to get a permit here if you pass criminal background muster.
Gun Free Zones not specified on your permit paperwork don't carry the color of law, that is to say, they can ask you to leave, but not arrest you. ALTHOUGH PLACES ON THE LIST WILL LAND YOUR CAN IN THE CLINK!
You can carry a handgun in your car as long as it is not "readily accessable" and "securely encased", without a permit, but not on your person or as easily as if on your person (in a holster wedged between the seats).
