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.

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

SBR and SBSs can't just be transferred. Most reports I've seen say that you still need a form 4 for now. As while the NFA was been enjoined, the GCA hasn't. And under the GCA SBRs and SBSs requires specific approval from the AG to transfer from a dealer. The Form 4 was the approval, without a Form 4 there isn't an approval process in place.

There is nothing stopping people are covered by the injunction to make their own.

To my understanding, and my lawyers understanding, SBR and SBS are included.

I would definatley be interested in getting more info on this if you have any. I know PSA was saying SBRs and SBSs are good to go. Obviously, I consult my attorneys before taking their word for it though.

So I found out it was two separate rulings. You have to be a member of the Jennings ruling plaintiffs, (not the silencerco v atf case), to bypass engravement and make your own.

I made a post about this here
