Unified Sportsmen of Florida (USF)

1976

  • 1976 created with the assistance of the National
    Rifle Association
  • a non-profit membership organization incorporated in Florida
  • Affiliated with NRA as the Florida Legislative affiliate
    USF is an independent organization

financial support.

Unified Sportsmen of Florida was organized for the
purpose of protecting the firearms rights of all law-abiding
firearms owners in Florida and to preserve the firearms
rights guaranteed in the United States and Florida
Constitutions.

WHAT HAS USF DONE FOR GUN OWNERS?

● USF  fought for 7 years to pass “shall issue” Right to Carry legislation to reform Florida’s oppressive concealed carry law.
That landmark legislation became model legislation for the nation.
● It was USF that lead the fight to pass: Florida’s Firearms Preemption Law that wiped out hundreds of gun control ordinances in Florida’s cities and counties.
● And it was USF, that fought to pass Concealed Carry Reciprocity; Hunter Protection; Shooting Range Protection; Gun Manufacturer Lawsuit Protection; and more!
