You can find the book at
ORLANDO GUN, WEAPON, & SELF DEFENSE LAWYER JON H. GUTMACHER, Esq. | Florida Firearms Law Book

I use it as a reference with friends and encourage people to read it, whether they are using firearms or not. I encourage the girls I work with to use at least pepper or a taser and show them the sections about less than lethal self defense. A number of them have started looking at getting their licenses. I have given away 3 copies but it is for a good cause.

Not only that, both my wife and I carry Jon's card in our wallets and have his number in our cell phones.

Good guy. We're lucky to have a reference and advocate like him in FL.

Used in 8 LE academies, and by 80+ LE agencies, IIRC.

Read it twice and a half (in process re-reading).
Refer to it regularly when specific questions arise.

A must for keeping this guy's butt out of the pokey, so to speak. :redface:

Just found out!

After asking some questions which are not so easy to understand in the statutes GoldenSaber and several others mentioned this book. It has now gone to the top of my list and I will get a copy very soon. Thanks to GS and others who have offered assistance.

I read it when it FIRST came out but I usually rely on Marion Hammer's group Unified Sportsmen of Florida to keep me abreast of new laws headed my way, so I'd be careful in slinging around loaded terms like "negligent" were I you. Gun owners everywhere have a duty to stay up on local, state and federal law but the means by which they achieve said edification is up to them.

sad, very sad

while this may be true, it is a daggum shame that good people need to worry about their representatives sending thm to jail for exercising basic, constitutionally protected rights

Our elected servants (servants, not 'leaders') have a duty to keep up with the laws to protect our freedom.

Sadly, very sadly, they fail us.

I recently purchased the 2009 version of the Sixth Edition. It has replaced my dog-eared 2006 version. Both versions have been thoroughly read and are referred to frequently.
