Effective July 1, 2008, Florida became a „Take your gun to work” state (790,251 F.S.). This law prohibits most companies from firing an employee for trapping a legal firearm in their vehicle in the company`s parking lot. The goal of the new law is to allow citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights while commuting to work. The exceptions listed in subsection 790.251(7) of the S.F.A. include school property, correctional facilities, nuclear power plants, national defences, explosives or combustible material facilities, or a motor vehicle owned, leased or leased by a person`s employer. According to this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell, offer for sale or possess Flechette grenades, Bolo grenades, dragon breath or exploding bullets. As an aside, I`ve never heard of a bullet exploding. Now, I absolutely want one, but I`m not ready to break the law. The Act also refers to armour-piercing ammunition in small arms and light weapons.
The most common type of armor-piercing ammunition is the 5.56 LAP, which is used in an AR-15 or a 7.62×39 steel core used in an AK-47. The problem is that you can also buy an AR-15 and an AK-47 either as a pistol or as a rifle. This means that it would be legal to fire armor-piercing ammunition from a rifle and a crime to shoot with a pistol. Be very careful with this one, as it is easy to make a mistake while you are away that could put you in a lot of legal trouble. Interest on amounts granted under this Subsection shall be charged at the legal rate from the date of commencement of the action. Unrestricted wearing was briefly legal in 1987 due to the original legislation on concealed carrying permits, which came into force on 1 October 1987 and repealed the 1893 Law Prohibiting the Carrying of Weapons in Public. The ban on open transport was quickly reinstated on 10 October 1987 with emergency laws, fearing that tourism would be negatively affected. [20] The State of Florida does not regulate hollow-point ammunition, but this does not prevent them from banning other types of ammunition. This is what the law says. (b) There is a mandatory three-day delay between the purchase and delivery of a retail handgun, with the exception of weekends and holidays. For the purposes of this section, „purchase” means the transfer of money or other valuable consideration to the retailer, and „handgun” means a firearm that can be carried and used with one hand, such as a pistol or revolver.
Holders of a secret firearms license, as required by Florida law, are not subject to the terms of this paragraph. „Burgenlehre” refers to the generally accepted common law principle that you do not have to retire when you are in your own apartment. The abolition of the obligation to withdraw outside the home (i.e., in public) is commonly referred to as the „defend your positions” law. On October 1, 2005, Florida became a „No Duty to Retreat” (i.e., Stand Your Ground) state. Florida Castle Doctrine Law states that law-abiding residents and visitors can legally accept the threat of assault or death by anyone who breaks into an occupied apartment or vehicle and uses defensive force, including lethal force, against the intruder. Open walking in a public space is generally illegal, but is permitted in certain circumstances, as defined in Florida Act 790.25 (3). For example, the open harbor is allowed during hunting, fishing, camping, weapons exhibitions or target shooting in a shooting range and when walking to and from such activities. [17] The Open Wearing Ban Act was challenged in court,[18] but the ban was upheld. [19] The licence remains in effect for 90 days after the date on which the licence holder establishes its registered office. Possession of a bump stock is illegal. Under Florida law, the term „shock shooting shaft” refers to a conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device used to change the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic the firing of an automatic pistol, or used to increase the rate of fire at a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such a semi-automatic firearm without the help of a kit. a tool, accessory or device.
(F.S. 790.222). A class action lawsuit challenging the ban as an unconstitutional measure requiring fair compensation failed in May 2019 in Leon County District Court[38] and in January 2021 in the 1st District Court of Appeals. [39] Transporting vehicles without a driver`s licence is legal if a handgun is not available for immediate use or on a person. Florida law prohibits the possession of ammunition by the same people who are directly prohibited from owning firearms under Florida law, although people who are prevented from receiving firearms by the background check process required by Florida law are not similarly prevented from receiving ammunition.1 Federal prohibitions on buyers of ammunition also apply. As of June 2022 [Update], 37 states recognize the Florida Concealed Carry license, while 12 states do not.
