After some contemplation on the legality of him taking my money, I've decided not to pursue getting my money back. Even though it's the State of Florida Dept of Revenue's opinion that there's no "Use tax" on a private purchase from out of state, it's really not worth the fight to get a few...

I just received a call from the Florida Dept of Revenue I sent an email regarding the "use tax" on a firearm purchased from a "private individual" out of state to the Florida Dept of Revenue a couple of days ago. They just called me back. Here's what they said... "It is our opinion...

As far as how did the seller know... He was admiring the gun and asked how much I paid. I told him. I didn't know he was going to charge me tax. I thought we were just having a friendly chit chat. Bear in mind, no FFL ever in the last 20 years charged me a sales tax on an out of state...

I do have the sales receipt showing a line that says tax. It's one of those generic receipts with no identifying marks that show it was from the gun store. I'll wait a little while before revealing which store this is. The guy may have had the right to collect taxes according to some of the...

So we need to be good state citizens and pay up? This is interesting. But I gather it's not set in stone. Meaning it's not law. I've ordered thousands of $$ worth off of the internet and not paid tax. If it's law, surely the state will come down hard on sites such as Amazon.com to...

This shop is in Florida. I bought the gun from a private individual from out of state. What I really need is the specific law/rule regarding sales tax, both federal and state. I'm almost positive he's keeping the proceeds. As soon as I get some more information, I'm going to make a...

I've done dealings with several FFLs in my area. Most have not charged me more than their transfer fee of around ~$30 flat for any firearm whether bought in or out of state. Not too long ago I used someone else closer to my home. He quoted me a transfer fee. I agreed. I have email proof. Then...

I'm not having any kids...

After rereading this thread as well as other threads on this subject at other forums, I've come to the conclusion that non-TSA locks should be used in hard gun case as well as the suitcase that holds it. According to the law, I must be present if TSA wants to inspect the locked suitcase...

reviving an old thread I read the entire thread and am still confused by one issue. I know the hard sided case which contains the firearm has to be locked with the key in my possession. But what about the suitcase? Does the suitcase holding the hard sided case have to be locked with...

Travis, if you don't know already check out the following links. I used to shoot there before moving out to Vegas. Check out Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club And Florida Defensive Carbine Club.

I agree with akodo. Loosing the carry gun is definitely at the bottom of the list. A friend of mine was involved in a self defense shooting with his Glock 19 about 10 years ago. This occured in Georgia. The gun was taken in as evidence by police. My friend was cleared by the grand jury...

What are the possible consequences of shooting and killing this turds? Are criminal charges a possibility? I'm pretty nervous about encountering roving gangs like this. I work only a mile away from MGM. :(
