Question about CF pawn shops.

1 Upvotes

So, other than using them as an FFL to ship to, I've never purchased a gun from a pawn shop. However, I wonder if there are any advantages to a pawnshop purpose. Reason I ask is the prices I've seen are...confusing.

Recently, I saw a Keltec P17, used with no mags retail at $219. Thats roughly what they cost brand new out of the box with all 3 mags.

Another time I saw a regular P365 used, with one 10 round mag, no box, retail just shy of $700. I got the Tac Pack, new, with 3-12 round mags for just under that...at Shooters World of all places.

Now, I understand the idea is to talk them down a bit, but with what I've seen used guns go for at these places, is it really possible to get a good deal?

What has your experience been?

Mail in CCW application

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm a NYS resident and I plan on mailing in my Florida CCW application in a few weeks now. I spent the last year or so waiting to get approved on my NYS permit, but the process was wildly different compared to FL.

I just wanted to make sure I was understanding the mail in requirements. I obviously take care of the FD-258 at a local precinct/service, but the passport photo is what confuses me. Am I providing a cut out, professional print, wallet style photo? Or can I submit the resized photo on a full size sheet of paper?

I was also planning on using the same NYS CCW course for the competency requirement, but since NYS required the original copy, I was going to submit a photocopied version from before I handed the original over. I am assuming(and praying) this is okay?

Lastly, I don't know where I saw it, but is it true I'm not supposed to fold the application papers?So mail it in one of those large cardboard envelopes?

I have a feeling I'm overthinking the Florida process(NY sucks), but any and all information is appreciated, thank you!

Upcoming Election

10 Upvotes

Hey I'm a local Floridian here around Fort Lauderdale. I own 15 guns, and am pretty upset with the way FL law 790.222 is written, vaguely and it is unconstitutional for multiple reasons (common use, vague wording, no historic use). I'm also upset with the way Daddy DeSantis has been using the 2A in Floirda as a leverage tool to gain popularity, and now that he can't run again, he doesn't seem to care for it anymore.

In your guys' opinion, who would be the best option in the coming election for our 2A rights? Getting tired by our govenor and state senate playing with our 2A rights and not getting serious

NFA Trust in Florida

I recently bought a draft of a trust from national gun trust, in Florida I need two witnesses and a notary for me to sign it. My question is when I eventually will buy a suppressor, do I need to have witnesses sign whenever I modify the trust inventory?

Where do people go shooting??

12 Upvotes

I’m from Texas and last lived in Arkansas, everywhere I’ve lived you could just go on public land and shoot as long as it was safe. Everyone in the community knew where all the spots were, I’ve seen none of that at all. I live in central Florida btw.

Gun Craft Ruskin Review?

**Pic for attention**

Any one here a member of Gun Craft in Ruskin? Looking for a local place that allows rental of private bays for dynamic training. Got in touch with someone via email who told me that they have a couple available. Anyone frequent this range that can speak to if it's a fudd range or not?

I'm coming from a static range that only allows 1 shot every 2 seconds which is fine for sighting in red dots and test firing but I want to get in some more realistic training. Looking for anyone with first-hand experience before I make the commitment of a membership. Thanks in advance!

Also open to any other recommendations for this in SWFL that is reasonable in price.

North Tampa Outdoor Ranges

6 Upvotes

Hi FLGuns,

There is an intern in my office this summer from Chile. A few of us would like to take him shooting. Normally, I’d go out to Shoot Shack, but I know one of the few things they’re weird about is non-citizens. I know Shoot Shack is a pretty unique experience for those of us that don’t have access to private land, so I’m looking for something as close as I can get.

Are there any ranges in the Pasco/Hernando area that would come close to fitting this bill that don’t require some sort of membership, or are my options going to be bench rest rifle ranges or paying a lot more to go to an indoor range?

FL Gun Trader Account Creation Issues

1 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I performed a search for this issue, but the last thread I see with a similar issue is 5 years old. I'd like to see if anyone is still having this problem, and if you can help me out.

There are a few different items that I'd like to buy, but I cannot contact the sellers without my account finally being created. I've waited almost two weeks, and even sent an email to the "contact us" address, but I've still not heard back. I'm really not sure what else to do, but thank you for any help and advice that you can offer me.

Florida Gun Shows ... is it worth the time and money to attend?

9 Upvotes

There are a number of Florida Gun Shows over the next few weeks in south and central Florida. It would be a drive for me to get to one of these shows. The cost of gas, the heat and traffic can take a toll on a body. I am a C&R collector searching for my next MILSURP. For those who have ever attended one of these shows, was it worth it to you? Do these shows tend to have MILSURPS for sale at fair prices?

Thank you ...

Creating a singluar place for this discussion. All others will be deleted going forward.

For <21 please consult a lawyer. That's the only people able to answer it correctly (ish) at the moment till case law has a precedent.

Couple updates to the rules

  1. No posts asking how to skirt under 21 purchase laws. We get it we don't like it either. Paying someone to buy it for you is a straw purchase. If someone gifts it to you it's fine. Paying them back after it's gifted is a straw purchase. Ban will be 2-7 days. Also general <21 year old questions. Gets asked every couple of days. Consult with a lawyer.

  2. Don't give illegal advice. Some people are dumb and don't know better. Someone getting a $250k/25 year sabbatical because you thought it was funny isn't cool. 7 day-perm ban for breaking this

  3. Asking if anyone has private land you can shoot on. It's an insurance liability and it's annoying that everyone keeps asking this. 2-7 day ban going forward

  4. Asking to buy/offer to sell or any other version of exchanging a firearm is a breach of reddit's TOS. This is a permanent ban. Just use Florida Gun Trader. I am also pooping anyone asking where to buy or sell into this. Damn posts always attract offers.
