Florida law in detail

  • Florida's rate of fire wording is broad enough that it may reach binary triggers, and it has not been tested in court. Treat it as restricted until a lawyer who reads Florida law tells you otherwise.
  • Unsettled is not the same as legal. The risk sits with the owner, not the seller.

The federal rule

A binary trigger fires once on the pull and once on the release. It is not regulated under federal law, but several states ban it under statutes aimed at rapid fire devices, multiburst triggers or trigger activators.
