Is Hollow Point Ammunition Legal In Florida?

It's hard to find a written definitive answer to this question by an authority on the internet. According to all of the websites that I have researched indicate the answer is YES. To be 100 sure contact your local police department or gun store owner.

 

Carrying Hollow Points In Florida

  1. In my Concealed Carry Weapons Class (taught by the local police department) there was no mention of hollow point bullets ever being illegal.

  2. All the Florida gun stores that I know carry and sell them.

  3. You can order hollow point ammunition online and get it delivered to your door.

  4. Everyone at the Florida shooting range that I go to who has a CCW permit carries hollow point ammunition.

  5. Hollow Point ammunition is considered "Safer" to carry than full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition because it minimizes over-penetration.
