So I live near St. Aug. and will most likely be going down there to view the fireworks on the 4th. Most of you around here know that the best place to see the fireworks is the Castillo de San Marco, which is I am not mistaken is a state park.....Carry?
It is a National Monument run by National Park Service.
I think it is, therefore, off-limits to legal carry until the new legislation on carrying in National Parks goes into effect (next Feb.???).
Even then, no buildings, as I understand it. So, probably, most is still a no-go.
Anyone else with better information want to chime in?
Anywhere in St Augustine downtown is fine except the Fort (Federal Park) and the Florida National Guard (Old British Military barracks) buildings on the bayfront at the south end of town. FNG owns several historic buildings and residential properties there as well so pay attention to where you are on the south end of the historic district.
I carry there all the time...especially when out for dinner out after dark. Its a great little historic town but it seems like all the creeps find the way there on Friday and Saturday nights.

i carried last time i was in St Augustine(went to Ripley's), even if they shoot fire works from an off limits location you can see them a good ways off. so carry and hang out within viewing distance
I just came back from a visit to St. Augustine. Neat place! I carried everywhere except the Fort. I didn't know about the FNG Barrack's being off limits? (even though we weren't on the grounds).
We stayed at Bayfront Inn. Planning on going back in October....
As I understand it, Florida National Guard properties are active military use and carry is prohibited just like at any military base. Signs are posted on the buildings as well as entrance to the grounds at the guard gates for the larger properties. If I am not mistaken, Federal law prohibits carry there. If someone knows differently, please feel free to chime in but that is my understanding.
I live in St. Augustine, and will be viewing the fireworks from my dock this year. Yes it is ok to carry at the fort. Only thing is that this year the show is said to only last for about 15-20 minutes do to budget restrictions. But enjoy!!
FL has no restrictions against carrying at a NG facility. Police, sheriff, or Highway Patrol station yes......NG facility, no.
You cannot carry at the fort because it's a federal park.......but of course, you can carry in a federal forest in FL.
Does your head hurt yet?! :image035:
