FLORIDA CLASS D security licence ammo restrictions
The statute says that you can carry a .357 with. 38 sp ammo. Does this include + p rounds? What about critical defense rounds?

The licensing handbook is available here.
According to Section 493.6115(6), Quote:

Raises a couple of questions. If you carry a revolver you can't use FMJ which means you are restricted to lead. Okay, that's fine but why no wadcutters? Are they more dangerous than a lead round nose or flat point? Other question is what is a .45 163 ACP pistol. What the heck is that?

The wadcutter thing is probably because factory wadcutter ammo is usually powder puff target shooting type stuff. (Yes I know extremely deadly and I don't want a .177 pellet sent my way but it isn't generally suited to defense in factory loadings that I have experience with)

Thanks Tom Servo
Now I'm wondering why no fmj in a revolver. I own a. 357 revolver and a .380 auto. I thought I knew the obvious differences between the two, but must be missing something. Just can't figure what's bad with fmj in one,but not the other.

In lieu of other documentation clarifying item #3, I presume that conventional JHP bullets with a copper-jacketed base and open tip are acceptable, as they are neither FMJ, FMC, "armor piercing" nor "exploding." (+1 Tom.) If the writers of the manual were savvy enough to use the terms FMJ and FMC, I would assume that they were also knowledgeable enough to more clearly and explicitly prohibit JHP bullets if that was their intent. FWIW I suspect that the allowance for FMJ in semi-auto firearms is a holdover from the bad old days when many auto pistols would choke on anything other than FMJ hardball. Quote:

I think the .45 163 ACP thing must refer to this ammo - admittedly a rather odd way to list it.

Yours is not to question.
Are you actually trying to make sense of rules made by bureaucrats? Most of whom don't know much of anything about what they make rules about. Just read the manual and follow the rules there in. Saves a lot of frustration. If there's anything confusing there, don't bother asking anyone. You will no doubt get different answers from everyone you ask. Just use your own judgement. The bureaucrats won't care, they're too busy writing more rules.

I have a few packs of KTW in the collection, but I never came across .25ACP. Exactly what armor is that supposed to pierce?

KTW hasn't made in ammo in over 30 years. It hasn't even been branded in 20. Yet it is still banned so it has not been marketed that I know of in a generation.
However it is the same logic fail as the media made. Being Teflon coated has nothing to do with it being armor piercing. I'd imagine that ammo is worth something to a collector. |

In the link Tom provided, Title III subsection B is about the G license.
