If you have well water than ro is your best option, you can't do ro on city water because it takes approximately 6 gallons of raw water to make 1 gallon of treated. The best guy in my opinion is water medic (239) 541-2581 . For ccw get a hold of lee co tax collectors office and schedule an appointment to get the electronic fingerprint and application done that's the simplest way unless you have a different states ccw already your probably going to take a ccw class shoot center cape coral or shoot straight Ft. Myers has classes all the time probably around $50.

Are you sure you want Cape Coral ?
We've been here since '04. Looking to leave within the next 2 years. If you insist on coming to this xxxxx I mean here, I can give you this advice. If you're on well water, an R/O system may be for you. We just used the system that came with the house. We bought bottled water for drinking. If you will be on city water, a good under the sink filter would be fine. We just use a Britta pitcher, and keep it in the fridge. CCW. Shoot Center on DelPrado has the best course. Everything else is done at the Lee County tax collector. Stay away from anything on fresh water canals ( I've been running the city canal maintenance crew for 8 years). The water is full of run off from fertilizer. I wouldn't eat fish from them on a bet. One question. Have you been here through the summer ? Have you driven DelPrado or Vets ? During snow bird season ? There are 200k people here. Not what it was when we mover here in '04. There were 82k then. Loved it then. Hate it now. Anyway, good luck ? |

Never been there through a summer. I am not looking forward to the humidity but oh well. It is better than snow IMHO. I am very much a home body or out on the water fishing so not traveling during douche bag season is fine with me. I just want to relax and fish. Hopefully the Colorado ccw counts for something and I don't have to take a stupid class. Going to have to find a boat as well at some point. |

Maybe send an email to Fl. carry and see if they could steer you in the way of a correct answer. Sent a pm to you about a fishing boat i have for sale. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We will be moving more North up towards Punta Gorda. I said Cape Coral because I figured it would be more well known. Thanks for the info on the water.

Hopefully the Colorado ccw counts for something and I don't have to take a stupid class. Going to have to find a boat as well at some point. Punta Gorda, IMHO, is the better choice. It has more of a small town vibe. They have an "old school" style gun show at the Charlotte County Fairgrounds. A lot of private sales. Check out Fishermans' Village. It's a kinda tourist trap, but there are some cool stores. They have food and bars too. Heat is definitely better than snow. IDK if it's me getting older, or that global warming thing. If there's any truth to it. I just can't take the extreme heat and humidity more. Get your yard work done before noon. The mid day sun is, well, you'll see. Good luck with the move. |

Just moved here in January. But I'm up on the panhandle by Pensacola. Some things that might help. The pay here is no where near to what your use to making. It works out, but you will be shocked at first. People here cant drive for crap, and I came from the bay area. You will be amazed at this. Sir and ma'am are proper to use when talking to people. Now for the good things... gas is cheap. People here are friendly and will help you because its the right thing to do, you should also help them in return. The guy next door, when I first moved in for instance. Im out trimming overhanging branches on our property over the road. He drives by waves, wave back. 10 minutes later he pulls up jumps out his truck with a gas pole saw and a cold tall boy for me. So yes the folks here are great. If you like the outdoors, this is heaven. Im working on my ccw now. But I work crazy hours. You can have a holstered pistol in your center console here no ccw , no issue. I asked a local deputy he laughed and confirmed it. Also told me welcome back to freedom...lol. any thing else I can think of I'll post or ask me if you got any questions.

Just a small clarification, if your center console has a latch, you don’t need the holster. No biggie by being ‘extra legal’, but the latch meets the legal hurdle for having the pistol in the car, not on your person(assuming ccw). |

I took mine 27yrs ago and immediately sent off the packet, the person who took the class with me waffled and then something happened after 2yrs, sent their packet off and it was rejected, over 2yrs was the reason given. |

@Defcon: A copy of your CO CCW will suffice as proof of training or use whatever you may have had to use for CO's CCW.

we are on well water. all we have is an iron filter going into a water softener then to the house. inside we have an under sink RO in the kitchen, feeds a little faucet on the sink and the fridge for the cool water and ice maker. Maintain your filters/softener and you will not have any smell in the house. we use either the RO or bottled water for drinking and cooking. All else is from the softener.

I'm in PG.
The deeper wells (100'+) in my AO tend to have less sulfur & ours has very little iron in it. Shallow wells can have a ton of iron. As long as the water isn't turning your driveway red, you'll get used to it. All I have is a aeration tank & a softener. We have an RO system that feeds the icemaker & water at the fridge & a spout at the sink, but I'll drink the water all day long. I had my well water tested for bacteria & it had less contaminates than the city water supply. Shoot me a PM & let me know what area your moving to. I got acreage that I shoot on. |

No I'm going to a ccw class soon. Just kinda mind blowing coming from California. Ive never left a firearm in a vehicle out of my sight, so wont start now. Now maybe in a secured safe mount in the vehicle to a structural component. But just in the glove box no. |

Moved in and getting set up! Love it here so far, although the previous owners didn't take the best care of the pool. Oh well, I almost have it dialed in.
If anyone needs a friend to go fishing with, let me know. I am dying to get out on the gulf!  |
