In addition to this blog where can I find the information I need about firearms in Florida?

Florida Licensing:

• Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services - Division of Licensing - Concealed Weapon or Firearm Program

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to discuss whether gun suppressors (silencers) should be permitted during hunting

At its semi-annual public meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will hear discussion on whether gun suppressors (silencers) should be permitted during hunting.  Florida hunters may use silencers when hunting for wild hogs, coyotes and a few other small animals, but the new proposal applies to deer, coyotes, and various birds and animals. Florida sportsmen requested the proposed rule change, not the suppressor manufacturers, as some people are claiming.  Hunters are trying to save their hearing and be more considerate of others by the requested change.  To date, 32 states allow hunting with suppressors.

If the draft proposal was successful at the Sept. 10 meeting, another meeting will be held for final approval, at which the public will be permitted to speak.
