The State of Florida has occupied the entire field of firearms law, superceding any county ordinance. It depends on the age of the minor, I think the more important part of the staute in this case is : (3) A minor under 18 years of age may not possess a firearm, other than an unloaded firearm at his or her home, unless: (b) The minor is engaged in a lawful marksmanship competition or practice or other lawful recreational shooting activity and is: 1. At least 16 years of age; or So the age would be 16, not 18. |
