Pellet gun laws in florida.?
Yes the woods are someone's private property, there is no more unclaimed property left in Florida If not posted there is not much that could be done to you as long as you are not setting fires or somehow damaging the property But you mentioned iguanas which leads me to belive that you are in the southern socialist section which could cause you some problems with the guns As long as you are not using the guns as if they were real guns or attempting to make anyone believe that they are real guns you are committing no crime in Florida. Unfortunately Miami Dade ain't quite real Florida Iguana';s are non indigenous and therefore have no standing or protection and killing them is no more than pest control But beware Soputhern Florida is full of blissninny green freaks that have already legally protected peacocks which also do not belong here and invade and area and force local wildlife away Small birds however are and should not be killed by simple minded little boys killing for the thrill of killing If caught you can and will , and should, be prosecuted for willful waste of wildlife

How is the law in the state of Florida when you buy from a Gun Show?
Florida gun shows are just like Florida itself - there is the legal way and there are all the other ways.Legal Way (how it is supposed to work)As a Florida resident you must be 18 for a long gun and 21 for a handgun. You demonstrate by showing an ID. The seller helps you fill out the paperwork, does the background check. If it is a long gun, you are on your way. If it is a handgun, you come back and get it in 72 hours unless you hold a concealed weapon license/permit (CCL). Then you can leave with the pistol immediately.If you are not a Florida resident, then the weapon must be delivered to a FFL dealer in your state for you to pick up. This is true even if you are a Florida resident but you want the weapon shipped to an out of state location. That usually costs $25 plus shipping.Still Legal (but with issues)Bob wants a handgun, but doesn’t want to wait 3 days. His buddy Bill has a CCL. Bob tells Bill he loves him and has always wanted a handgun. Bill, smitten by this man-love he didn’t know existed, decides to purchase and walk out of the gun show with the weapon of Bob’s dreams. Bill then “gifts” the handgun to Bob. So long as Bill has no reason to believe Bob cannot legally own or possess a handgun, this is legal. It is also legal at a gun shop.Still Legal (and more issues)The vast majority of tables are occupied by licensed firearms dealers. Federal law requires this for persons in the business of buying and selling firearms. But there are a few small tables that hold private individuals who are supposed to be selling their own guns. These private sellers are not required to perform background checks, fill out paperwork or collect taxes. They can sell person to person. These “hobbyists” and “collectors” are legally allowed to sell so long as there is no reason for them to suspect the buyer is not entitled to own or possess a gun. Some call this the “gun show loophole” but that is inaccurate because having this happen at a gunshow has nothing to do with it. Private seller to private seller transactions can happen anywhere. People focus on gun shows because it is out in the open.Strawman (not legal, but it happens)Take Bob and Bill, strip out the love factor, substitute $50 and you have an illegal sale.The Every-show Hobbyist (Licensed dealers hate them)The private individual that is at every show with an unending inventory, underselling licensed dealers. A sub set is the buddy of the licensed dealer who just happens to have that same unending inventory.
Age to buy a BB GUN in Florida?
To purchase? 18. In the US, you can't buy an airsoft gun unless you're 18 or over.
What are some unique guns you can own in Florida?
Nothing that is unique solely to Florida but there are a number of guns that can't be obtained in certain states, namely NFA firearms. These include: Short barreled rifle - Rifle with a barrel shorter than 16".Short barreled shotgun - Shotgun with barrel shorter than 18".Any other weapon - Weird guns that don't look like guns, as well as pistols with smooth bores designed to shoot shotgun rounds. Machine guns - Legal civilian guns that are capable of shooting fully automatic.Silencers - Often illegal in states that outlaw NFA items. Also compared to certain states like California and New York, we don't have ridiculous magazine capacity laws along with bans on cosmetic features of guns like pistol grip and barrel shroud.
What are Florida gun laws like compared to other states?
Florida gun laws are very permissive. They don’t really have any restrictions on ownership or purchases beyond those put in place by federal law.Florida requires a permit for concealed carry but it uses a “shall issue” permit system like Texas (which treats it like a driver’s license, you either meet the requirements or you don’t, and if you do then they must issue you a license), as opposed to the subjective “may issue” system (where someone gets to decide if you should get a permit even if you meet all the training/legal requirements) used by states like Commiefornia, Nazi Jersey, or the People’s Republic of Maryland, which is often used to deny the right of self-defense to anyone not politically-connected. It also allows out-of-state residents to obtain permits.While not technically a gun law, Florida gained a lot of attention a few years ago for its Stand Your Ground laws (due to a case that ironically had nothing to do with SYG). Most states have some form of the Castle Doctrine, where on your property you do not have to retreat from a criminal and can defend yourself appropriately. Other states like NJ have a duty to retreat where you must always attempt to retreat from a criminal and can only defend yourself after all other options have been exhausted. Florida’s SYG law basically is like Castle Doctrine except that it applies all the time, no matter where you are.
Can a felon own a black powder gun in Florida?
That’s a very good question. The bottom line is that the statutes and case law are contradictory enough that you could be arrested for possessing a percussion or flintlock firearm, even though the statutes seem to allow it. And if you were to use the gun in a crime, you would certainly be charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and using a firearm to commit a felony.Felons in Florida are prohibited from owning firearms unless their rights have been restored by a court of law. However, Florida’s definition of “firearms” specifically exempts “antique firearms,” and replicas, which are defined as “any firearm manufactured on or before 1918 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar early type of ignition system) or replica thereof, whether actually manufactured before or after the year 1918.”So that’s pretty straightforward. You should be able to own, for example, a Ruger Old Army percussion pistol (shown above). The problem is that prosecutors have disagreed, and the courts have backed them up.David Bostic found this out the hard way. A convicted felon, Bostic had purchased a percussion-fired, muzzleloading rifle for hunting and had been charged as a felon in possession of a firearm. Bostic had argued that the gun was not a firearm under Florida law, but the trial court had rejected that, and basically said that if you were a felon you were prohibited from having even a percussion or flintlock (which seems to contradict the state statutes).In 2005, the Fifth District Court of Appeals weighed in, saying that the lower court was wrong, and that felons were allowed to own antique or replica antique firearms, but upheld Bostic’s conviction on the grounds that his particular rifle did not meet the statutory criteria for a “replica antique,” even though it used a percussion ignition system and the statute specifically identifies modern-made guns with percussion ignition systems as “antique replicas.” The court took exception to the fact that the rifle had a fiber-optic sight on it, which were not in use in the 1800s.That seems disingenuous to me. But there are other cases in which felons have been denied the right to own percussion or flintlock pistols as well, so regardless of what the law seems to say, it looks like there’s a good chance of being prosecuted if you’re caught with one.
How do the gun laws in California differ from the gun laws in Florida?
You may as well have traveled to a different country.California has arguably the strictest gun laws in the USA. Expect a background check for every gun purchase, every gun to require registration with the state, a 10 day waiting period for any gun sale, a one handgun a month limit, a ban on “assault weapons”, .50-caliber rifles, “unsafe handguns” (less than 800 specific models of handguns are legal to sell within the state out of tens of thousands available models on the market), and “high capacity magazines”, required safe storage of firearms, essentially a complete ban on open carry of firearms and a may-issue concealed carry system that translates to having an increasing difficulty in lawfully carrying a concealed weapon based upon the population of the county you live in (ranging from easy if you live in the Sierras to Mojave to kissing your ability at lawful self defense outside of your house good bye in San Francisco or Los Angeles).Oh, and the icing on the cake is banning online or mail order sales of ammunition this year followed by requiring a permit and background checks to purchase ammunition starting next year.Aren’t California nannies wonderful?
