Do you have the legal responsibility to secure your firearm?

Joe and Tim are going to shed some light on this subject.

790.174 Safe storage of firearms required.— (1) A person who stores or leaves, on a premise under his or her control, a loaded firearm, as defined in s. 790.001, and who knows or reasonably should know that a minor is likely to gain access to the firearm without the lawful permission of the minor’s parent or the person having charge of the minor, or without the supervision required by law, shall keep the firearm in a securely locked box or container or in a location which a reasonable person would believe to be secure or shall secure it with a trigger lock, except when the person is carrying the firearm on his or her body or within such close proximity thereto that he or she can retrieve and use it as easily and quickly as if he or she carried it on his or her body. (2) It is a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083, if a person violates subsection (1) by failing to store or leave a firearm in the required manner and as a result thereof a minor gains access to the firearm, without the lawful permission of the minor’s parent or the person having charge of the minor, and possesses or exhibits it, without the supervision required by law: (a) In a public place; or (b) In a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner in violation of s. 790.10. This subsection does not apply if the minor obtains the firearm as a result of an unlawful entry by any person. 1(3) As used in this act, the term “minor” means any person under the age of 16.

What type of targets should you be using at the range?

Todays PSA: Wrong Ammo

 

Please be careful when loading your magazines. The cartridge might look the same but the can be different. So please double check and if you are unsure ask your local firearms experts.

Shooting Without Sights Part 2

 

In a self-defense situation are you going to use your sights.

Do you use sights and or need sights in a defensive shooting situation?

Do you have an obligation to tell Police when you are pulled over for a basic traffic stop that you have a firearm on your person or in the car? 

 

This is for a traffic stop for a motor vehicle violation only.To be clear, Florida Statute 790.06 - “License to carry concealed weapon or firearm” states that an individual has no “duty to inform” a law enforcement officer that they are carrying a concealed weapon or firearm (some states do, however).

 

Here is one from Cape Coral PD: https://www.capecops.com/blog/2017/2/10/ask-ccpd-5-concealed-carry-traffic-stops

 

No driver in Florida has a duty to tell police when they are armed

 

No one is required or obligated say that they have a firearm. Some officers will still ask about weapons in the car; you still aren't required to disclose that. 

 

If you do disclose that you have a firearm they will most likely  just tell you as long as it stays in place everything is good. 

 

However, some may ask

 

to remove the weapon from the car for the duration of stop. 

 

This is a simple request…….

It is NOT a lawful order, only a request. You CAN refuse, unless the officer has an articulable reason to disarm you against your will
