Moving from New Germany Jersey to FL & have questions. I'll be moving to the Tampa area if that matters.

The first thing Im going to do is get a permit to carry my Sig226 40 but need to know how to do this. In NJ no one is allowed to have a carrie permit unless you politically connected.

Next, is a silencer for the AR, M1A, and Para FAL. So, I need to know how to do this too. I will also need to research silencers because I dont really know about them. Which are better, wet or dry cans ...?

Other plans are to pick up an AUG, 50cal and maybe a FA open bolt subgun, but thats later!

What are you planing to do here?heckPacking.org and Florida Department of Licensing

In a nut shell, you have to have proof of firearms training. It can be an NRA course, or a course taught by a NRA instructor. A DD-214 also applies or you can take the free Florida Hunter Education class. Make a copy of your proof of training, fill out the application package, include fingerprint card and photograph. Mail it in with a M/O for $158 IIRC. and wait about 45 days. You'll get a CWP with your pic, looks alot like a DL and you are good for 5 years. You can order the free aplication packet on line. Check the thread on this forum more more detailed instructions. I think you have to be a resident for a certain number of days.

As for the NFA stuff, best thing to do is form a revocable living trust. This will negate the need for a CLEO signature, photos & prints. You can buy all the NFA you can afford. Very few folks use dedicated wet cans. You can take almost any dry can & use it wet, not recommended on aluminum cans though.

There is a big MG shoot 3 times a year at the Hernando Sprotsmans Club on US 19 just north of Hudson, FL which is just a little north of Tampa.

While your at it, pick up a switchbalde as well. Might as well feel the freedom of being unshackeled.

Just what we need another damn yankee!! J/K

Make sure you register to vote when you get here and keep the people in office that make this a gun-friendly state unlike that toilet you're moving from.
