They say they are not a "range" so do not bring your own guns or ammo. They are an "attraction". Pretty interesting....

No prices.  I going to assume it is going to cater to the tourist at an inflated fee.  But then again, it is free market enterprise.

I don't believe public ranges are allowed in Osceola, which may be why they are an "attraction".

Keep the disposable room clearing guns away from the young ones, and keep the muzzle shrouds on, and things will be OK.

Good.  Hopefully they put Orlando Gun Club out of business, or at the very least, hit hard into their sales.

Wouldn't that local ordinance be preempted by the state firearms statutes?

I don't think so.  If it's an issue of zoning or ordinance, I think the local municipalities have total autonomy to make their own rules along those lines.  For instance, the city council here in Jacksonville Beach wouldn't approve an indoor range within its limits, despite industrial and commercial zoning being available.  You have to leave the beaches to find a range.

Have you had an issue with OGC? I've been thinking of checking them out for a little while now.

I find it difficult to believe that due to state preemption, an entire Florida county can hide behind zoning regulations to prevent the operation of even one, single, indoor shooting range.

It would be hard to see any way that Florida State Statutes could be any more blunt:

Why would you think that?


2011 Florida Statutes



Title XLVI
CRIMES

Chapter 790
WEAPONS AND FIREARMS
Entire Chapter

SECTION 33
Field of regulation of firearms and ammunition preempted.


790.33 Field of regulation of firearms and ammunition preempted.—
(1) PREEMPTION.—Except as expressly provided by the State Constitution or general law, the Legislature hereby declares that it is occupying the whole field of regulation of firearms and ammunition, including the purchase, sale, transfer, taxation, manufacture, ownership, possession, storage, and transportation thereof, to the exclusion of all existing and future county, city, town, or municipal ordinances or any administrative regulations or rules adopted by local or state government relating thereto. Any such existing ordinances, rules, or regulations are hereby declared null and void.

(b) It is further the intent of this section to deter and prevent the violation of this section and the violation of rights protected under the constitution and laws of this state related to firearms, ammunition, or components thereof, by the abuse of official authority that occurs when enactments are passed in violation of state law or under color of local or state authority.

(3) PROHIBITIONS; PENALTIES.—
(a) Any person, county, agency, municipality, district, or other entity that violates the Legislature’s occupation of the whole field of regulation of firearms and ammunition, as declared in subsection (1), by enacting or causing to be enforced any local ordinance or administrative rule or regulation impinging upon such exclusive occupation of the field shall be liable as set forth herein.

(b) If any county, city, town, or other local government violates this section, the court shall declare the improper ordinance, regulation, or rule invalid and issue a permanent injunction against the local government prohibiting it from enforcing such ordinance, regulation, or rule. It is no defense that in enacting the ordinance, regulation, or rule the local government was acting in good faith or upon advice of counsel.

(c) If the court determines that a violation was knowing and willful, the court shall assess a civil fine of up to $5,000 against the elected or appointed local government official or officials or administrative agency head under whose jurisdiction the violation occurred.

(d) Except as required by applicable law, public funds may not be used to defend or reimburse the unlawful conduct of any person found to have knowingly and willfully violated this section.

(e) A knowing and willful violation of any provision of this section by a person acting in an official capacity for any entity enacting or causing to be enforced a local ordinance or administrative rule or regulation prohibited under paragraph (a) or otherwise under color of law shall be cause for termination of employment or contract or removal from office by the Governor.

(f) A person or an organization whose membership is adversely affected by any ordinance, regulation, measure, directive, rule, enactment, order, or policy promulgated or caused to be enforced in violation of this section may file suit against any county, agency, municipality, district, or other entity in any court of this state having jurisdiction over any defendant to the suit for declaratory and injunctive relief and for actual damages, as limited herein, caused by the violation. A court shall award the prevailing plaintiff in any such suit:
1. Reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in accordance with the laws of this state, including a contingency fee multiplier, as authorized by law; and

2. The actual damages incurred, but not more than $100,000.

Interest on the sums awarded pursuant to this subsection shall accrue at the legal rate from the date on which suit was filed.

(4) EXCEPTIONS.—This section does not prohibit:
(a) Zoning ordinances that encompass firearms businesses along with other businesses, except that zoning ordinances that are designed for the purpose of restricting or prohibiting the sale, purchase, transfer, or manufacture of firearms or ammunition as a method of regulating firearms or ammunition are in conflict with this subsection and are prohibited;

(b) A duly organized law enforcement agency from enacting and enforcing regulations pertaining to firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories issued to or used by peace officers in the course of their official duties;

(c) Except as provided in s. 790.251, any entity subject to the prohibitions of this section from regulating or prohibiting the carrying of firearms and ammunition by an employee of the entity during and in the course of the employee’s official duties;

Yeah, I had a miserable experience there.  PM me if you want some details





I stand corrected.  I still don't know how the city council was able to block it out here though.

Actually, there is a gun shop out here at the beach, and several pawn shops that sell guns.  And one of them does have a bullet trap.

The statute protects sale, transfer, purchase, and manufacture of firearms and ammunition, not discharge.  I guess ranges aren't specifically protected

That's the way I interpret this...
Again, not a lawyer or politician... YMMV

I just took a peek at their website and the "Gallery" had me cracking up. It definitely is not pics of actual customers shooting and is basically a set up photo shoot. The one pic of the guy shooting the Glock is the best. Look at the Photo Shopped bullet coming out of the barrel. Looks like rifle cartridge. LOL...
