If you have any questions or comments about his work, he'd be glad to discuss it with you.
A must have for every Florida gun owner. This book translates into plain English everything that you need to know to be in compliance with the law. I especially appreciate the addition of basic information for neighboring states.
I only wish that there was an Ebook version that I could have on the Kindle app on my phone with my highlights and annotations easily accessible for reference without having to carry the 300+ page paperback around.
Legally, it’s very good. Gutmacher could definitely use an editor though. Not simply for ease of reading and style issues, but for ease of understanding as well. But overall, required reading for any Florida CWL holders.
If you own a gun for self-defense, you would be negligent not to pick up and study this book!!! Should be required reading for any Concealed Weapons Permit holders. Save your family's future by learning the law that can help you decide legally and ethically what self-defense can look like in Florida.
