Legal residence is in Westlake, Ohio, but we are here in Melbourne/Brevard County from the New Year until late May. I hold an Ohio Concealed Handgun License and just obtained a Florida Concealed Weapon License. I have participated in a decent amount of training with pistols and ARs and have done a little pistol competition and shot an AR at the Camp Perry National Matches. I am an NRA Pistol Instructor and an RSO.

Welcome to FCC from Palm Beach County, Billy the Kidder! 🍻

In case you weren't aware, you can stay current on pertinent Florida Statutes regarding the "justified use of force" and all of Florida firearms laws by going right to the source using these links for Chapter 776 - Justifiable Use of Force and Chapter 790 - Weapons and Firearms, respectively. I'd also like to suggest you obtain your own copy of FLORIDA FIREARMS Law, Use & Ownership by Jon Gutmacher, who is releasing a brand new version this June because of the significant changes to Florida Statutes effective 01 July 2023!

If you're a veteran, please take a look at our Military Service Thread where you'll find many of us there, too!

Finally, I highly recommend you read this thread to understand how to navigate FCC to get the most out of your experience. One particular item that's caught many veteran FCC members off guard is the "Recommended Reading" at the bottom of each page, which MAY contain quite old threads of inactive conversations lacking up-to-date information or context. So beware of the date of the last post (just to the right of the post number) in any thread you come across so you don't mistakenly think every post is recent and start responding to very old posts/threads that been dormant for quite some time, sometimes for many years.

Again, welcome to FCC! :cool:

Speaking of the "First Coast", I have personally been to all FOUR places where Christopher Columbus first set foot in the Americas. (They have no idea where he actually landed.)

Who is skeptical. :)
