      Did Florida law 02/27/16 also ban firing black powder guns, in your yard ?

      I agree Wildrider. Just as I did in the past, when it was perfectly legal here in Florida, I still had a sheriff come to my home and give me an OK in person. I would not do any different now. Before I fire my black powder guns on my property, a law enforcement officer will have to come here and...

      Did Florida law 02/27/16 also ban firing black powder guns, in your yard ?

      :Thanks for an intelligent reply! No, there is zero possibility of any danger as the direction I shoot from is downhill toward 4 vacant lots, full of trees, brush and palmetto bushes.

      WHY DID YOU LEAVE OUT THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE? "The term “firearm” does not include an antique firearm unless the antique firearm is used in the commission of a crime. Fla. Stat. 790.001(6)"

      Did Florida law 02/27/16 also ban firing black powder guns, in your yard ?

      YES. Be cause no one here has had definitive proof of yes or no. I researched it myself. A black powder gun is not technically a firearm. Here is a quote from a legal case, where a felon was found not guilty of posession of a firearm, because it was a muzzleloader and falls under "Antique Guns"...

      Did Florida law 02/27/16 also ban firing black powder guns, in your yard ?

      I have always target practiced in my back yard. It's mostly woods near me, but it wouldn't pass the criteria for having a "back yard gun range" per this law. But, is the law for smokeless powder-modern-guns, or is black powder muzzleloaders included...
