| It looks like with any luck at all I'm moving out from behind the iron curtain in New york and heading for Florida for at least a year, and probably longer. Without having the ATF show up at my door, I'll just say that I might be stretching a few of the AR laws already here in NY. However, i was wondering if anyone knew of any particular BS I'll no longer have to deal with once I have residence there, in regards to firearm regulations?? Thanks |
lol........its evil but i actually laughed at that.

AR specific. Everything you had to do with yours in NY is no longer needed.. No fixed stock, yes to flash hider, yes to 30rd mags, yes to bayonet lug, what any standard AR15 is like. And you can just bring them down, no registering, no LEO notification, you can even keep it in your car uncovered legally.(long guns)

Thanks for the good replys, not sure why the other thread got locked.
I think my real question is I'm looking at building a MK18, and I'm not sure how the law applies to that in FL (if at all)......is the stamp I'll need national or state based? I'm also going to look into getting my CCL as soon as i can. I'm not sure how long I have to be actually living there before I can apply for things like that in FL. ............i have lots of family that lives there though...hmmmm

Some of what you can look forward to is not having idiots like those running NYC telling you what you can/can't eat or drink. No more having to deal with Nazi behaviour from LEOs, no free for all patdowns. One hell of a lot less hadjis in the cabs here, in fact the last time I looked the local cab drivers were actually Americans. Unless you move to someplace like the inner city of Miami, Yorlando, or any other inner city slum its nothing like New Jork. Thank the Lord for that. SBR paperwork is Federal, not state.
And if you are smart, don't move back to that sewer no matter what. Its just a matter of time till it is removed from the face of the earth, hopefully....................................................... A hint is to NOT tell people "we did it this way in New Jork". Thats a great way to get a beating just for the hell of it. Most southerns are sick and freakin tired of Yankees telling us how we should do things. If you don't like how we do it, GO BACK TO THE SEWER. Welcome to the Gunshine State. You may check your accent at the border. |
EASY GUYS.......... i was from UPSTATE NY ....ya the good olde boys clubs down here LOL!!!!! 
Most of the guys down here are great. Oh and wait till yo go to the 1st gun show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .nothing like up north . Welcome aboard ....i got out 8 years ago ... gunshine state florida LOVES GUNS |

Florida statutes state that Machine guns, SBRs and SBS are a violation but then specifies an exception if they are registered legally with the feds. Actually Florida statutes are silent on silencers and AOWs, but of course you would still have to register them with the feds to avoid the vacation at club fed. If you need help with the stamp/registration process, this is the wrong forum...but the info is here. See Class III. http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_6/22_.html 790.221 Possession of short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or machine gun; penalty.— (1) It is unlawful for any person to own or to have in his or her care, custody, possession, or control any short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or machine gun which is, or may readily be made, operable; but this section shall not apply to antique firearms. (2) A person who violates this section commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (3) Firearms in violation hereof which are lawfully owned and possessed under provisions of federal law are excepted. You can start the (CCL) license process now. We call it a FLCWFL. Florida issues to residents and non-residents. There is no distinction on the license. The license does not even have your address on it. Google the Dept of Agriculture website and order an application package online. |
