Is this a grey area in Fl. or good to go. Really didn't see it addressed in the statutes. There is no law against it. And it is unlikely to come up in a criminal self defense case unless the facts don't support your narrative. Gun modifications typically only come up in accidental discharge cases. |

Gun modifications typically only come up in accidental discharge cases. the most recent case (that i saw) where the firearm was also on trial was the george zimmermen trial. the "firearms examiner" testified on the stand about the firearm not having a safety, carrying with a round in the chamber, loading the magazine to full capacity ect. this testimony required the defense calling several witnesses (to include the court bailiff to testify that it was normal to carry with one in the chamber and the magazine loaded to full capacity). would a modified gun have hurt george zimmerman? who knows, but i am sure it would have required more "expert testimony" (which in the end will cost you more money). my personal thought, carry what will save your life. i personally try to avoid things that say "surprise cock fag", "baby killing machine", ect.

seriously doubt anyone would know about the trigger, even if some opposition lawyer questioned things.
Spend more time worrying about your training, and about your mindset. Make sure your weapon is the best it can be, and your magazines and ammunition are reliable You simply can't worry about each and every aspect, with regards to what might happen down the road. |

Any lawyer can attack any modification to a firearm. Their purpose would be to paint you as a trained killer and so on and so forth. They would call "expert" witnesses to support the opinion that a decreased trigger pull is dangerous, more deadly, shows intent to do whatever....
Having testified a few times I have been the target of defense attorney's elaborate schemes to paint me as incompetent or to attack my credibility but up to this point the jury has always seen through the smoke and mirrors. If you were put into the position of having to defend a modified trigger your attorney would be smart to call his/her own expert witness. |
