Understanding what you own, how you can get the most money, and how to safely and legally dispose of your firearm is the first step to helping you rid your home of unwanted guns.

A firearm audit occurs when a Florida Firearm Services inspection expert connects with you by phone or in-person to assess your unique situation and how we can assist you in determining the best route for your firearm and ammo disposal. We’ll even come to your home to make sure your guns are safe, in proper working order and that they are Florida compliant. You may visit our office by appointment.

If our team finds a firearm that is not compliant with Florida Law, you will receive sage advice on how to make it compliant or possibly dispose of, or even sell it out of state where it is legal.

There are a number of issues that our firearm inspection team examines when determining a firearm’s legal status. Three of the most recent are bump stocks, bullet buttons, and assault weapon qualification.

Bump Stock or Burst Trigger
Bump stocks are a modification which improves the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms. Burst triggers provide a similar effect via an attachment to the trigger. In California, any item which allows semi-automatic firearms to expel a rapid-fire burst is illegal.

Bullet Buttons
In California, a firearm with a detachable magazine may be considered an assault weapon. A bullet button is an attachment which replaces the magazine release on the firearm, requiring the user to use a tool to remove the magazine. Originally created to adapt weapons to California’s gun laws, the status of these modifications has changed. All weapons with a bullet button are considered an assault weapon and must be registered.

Assault Weapons
There are a number of factors which can cause a firearm to be considered an assault weapon in California. These factors include: a magazine capable of accepting more than 10 rounds, a folding or telescoping stock, a pistol grip, a second handgrip, a barrel shroud, or a threaded barrel.

At Florida Firearm Services, we understand that staying up to date on our state’s gun regulations can be difficult. With the constant shifting of gun laws in the U.S., it’s important to have an expert who can help. If you are a firearm owner, contact us!
