Florida Statutes: re: Firearms Sales During State of Emergency

Permalink

This information was provided to me by James Rose. Thanks James!

With the active hurricane season upon us, I thought it might be prudent to post this information.

I just pray to God that we will all be spared from any direct hits, and this information will not be necessary.

Florida Statute 870
