EDIT

placed my order at 9 o'clock this morning. Got my email confirmation a little after 10 and hopefully we get it in a few weeks.

The gentleman I spoke to said I was the fourth person from Florida to order a pistol that morning. He was well aware of September 1 is tax-free and he broke up laughing when I gave him my address.

As I understand it, out of state dealers have no obligation to participate unless they have a legal obligation to collect Florida sales tax and ship directly to a Florida location.

Now with more political fatigue.

That's my understanding as well.

I do not remember anyone complaining that companies were charging tax when they shouldn't have

I do know some companies were a little slower and had to readjust their checkout system for the tax holiday


But we'll see

Looks like I'm in for some more weird looks at academy when I show up at the register with a year's worth of practice ammo I waited until Black Friday to save a little on both sides and it worked pretty well.

Anyone happen to know if "tents" includes those pop-up canopies? I've been telling a buddy that he needs one to use on his farm as a sun shade and brass catcher.

The only online dealer that i know participated in last year tax free was Black Hawk Armory. I got my Tisa Raider under 500. Plus, they did free shipping.

They all participated - Target Sports USA....even Ebay would refund you the tax - you just had to ask.  LOL

would it be worth it to get another suppressor with the tax savings?

Maybe one of these Tippmann's...for Squirrels and such.  Only $5,300.00 and uses the 33 round Glock 9mm mags, they include ten with the purchase.  It would be even better if it had a Picatinny rail for mounting a red dot sight.

They really need to make one of those in 5.56mm that uses AR mags.  Imagine one with the 50 or 100 round drums.  They could even make it look kind of like an M134.

There was a day or two delay on a couple, but I bought from at least 6 online vendors last year. All tax free.

1. I'm working on that.

2. Suppressors will be covered under the sales tax holiday too.

Oh--for the 30 rounders--Amazon, 2 pack of base plate retainer-$12. Pop out the block and in with the printed retainer, no mods, etc.

My first tax free item ended up being a Turkish mag-fed lever action 22LR. I'm going to put a scout scope and a can on it for extra tardation and we'll see how it goes

Bought a YHM R9 tax-free at the state and federal level. Feels good, man. Next up, flash hiders and a QD hub mount to match, then ammo for next year right around black  Friday. And figuring out how to pay for it all
