Here in Florida most of the Pawn shops are also gun shops and at times I have been able to find some good deals on nice guns. I go by several in my area about once a week to check out any new guns they may have brought in.
I am happy California is so far from Florida. Here in Florida if California does something or passes a law our Governor recommends the opposite. We have a lot of New Yorkers down here and I am married to one but they are told when they come to not vote for the crap they just left NY to get away...
I have seen them at two gun shops here in Florida. One had it priced at $569. and the other at $500. The best I saw on GB was $500. with free shipping but here the transfer fee at the dealer is $30. All guns, ammo and hunting equipment are sales tax free starting September 8th here in Florida...
I like the looks of the X. A little longer slide and grip but looks like a good gun. While the grip is linger it is not as fat. The slide has bigger groves to grip the slide with. I think the X is about $500. on GB and the Plus is about $400. Might be some deals on the Plus soon with the X...
It is a mess these days. It was a lot different 41 years ago when I started in the insurance business. Between the insurance companies and the attorneys in Florida they have made it unaffordable for many and difficult to collect on claims.
Your best option is probably Collectables Insurance although you can get a quote with them and your home insurance to compare prices. Collectables has great coverage and prices in my opinion and you don't need to list your firearms to insure them.
That been the norm for years here in Florida now. Florida homeowners rates are 4 times what they were 15 years ago. Last I knew ASI is not writing new homeowner business. In 2022 Progressive ASI cancelled 56000. homes they had insured in Florida that had a roof over 15 years old.
I am a agent and own a agency in Florida and have for 40 years. You need at least one engineer to look at your roof and dispute what the engineer the insurance company sent out or you are going to have a hard time getting the insurance company to pay for a new roof. Even if you find a attorney...
I know when my brother in law was stationed at Ft Stewart back in the early 70's they could hunt at Ft Stewart and I am sure they still do. As far as the gun regulations I have no idea. Of course either way the guy that did the shooting was not suppose to have one with him at the time and place...
