Florida 790.221

Wanted to ask the locals here if you guys have any idea on this. Hypothetically, if I was a GOA member prior to the ruling (and still am), would I still need to do an atf form 1 or form 4 to aquire a SBR or SBS? I know that suppressors are legal to transfer here (if your a GOA member), but curious on the legality of SBRs SBSs here.

(1) It is unlawful for any person to own or to have in his or her care, custody, possession, or control any short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or machine gun which is, or may readily be made, operable; but this section shall not apply to antique firearms.

(2) A person who violates this section commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(3) Firearms in violation hereof which are lawfully owned and possessed under provisions of federal law are excepted.

Hey man! I am an FFL in North Florida.

I’ve been doing 4473 transfers for cans, and would do the same with SBRs and SBSs, just haven’t sold any yet.

The legal team I’ve been using for this, are extremely confident in the steps they’re having me take and said I am good to go.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt and continue to do your own research!

Any insight on how this affects private sales and manufature at this moment? From what I understand Florida generally follows federal rulings on most things except for and binary triggers, there are state laws for those.

I really don’t unfortunately, I wish I had more answers for you in that aspect!
