As a matter of fact, I did just get a Mossberg 500 12g pump and so far I like it, LOT'S.
I've had a Beretta U22 Neos .22 but I wouldn't rely on it for protection unless it hit the right spots, otherwise it'd be liable just to get somebody p.o'ed
BTW, what does it take in Florida to get a CCW? Only course I ever had was a hunter safety course years back in Ohio.
It's really pretty easy. There are gun shows every month in FL where they give a course and help you with the paperwork. As long as you have a clean record, you should get the permit in a few weeks. We did.
Contact me via freepmail if you want more info
I have the Mossberg 500 also.
Click the link below. It will take you to the applicable Florida state website for obtaining your Florida CCW license. You can request a Florida CCW application package online.
