gregarat,

You may legally transport your handguns to Florida under the 1986 Federal Volkmer-McClure Act. That law says that if you legally own firearms in your state, you may transport them interstate without hinderance of any state's laws you drive through. Now, be sure the guns are unloaded and in a locked container like a footlocker for your handguns and put the container in your car trunk. I would not advertise the fact I had guns because some cops make up their own rules. Also, keep travelling and do not stop off for a month at a buddy's house enroute. As for your ammo, put that in a box or container and drive on. If you transport more than 25 pounds of Black Powder in one vehicle, you may come under DOT regs. Hope this helps.

Adam
