- Florida’s sales tax holiday now exempts guns, ammunition, magazines, optics, and some outdoor gear for four months starting Sept. 1.
- Small retailers say the holiday mostly benefits big-box stores, while their higher-priced or limited qualifying items get little advantage.
- Outdoor gear has strict price caps, such as sleeping bags under $50, tents under $200, and fishing rods under $75.
- Business owners say the tax savings are more meaningful on expensive firearms than on small accessories.
- Local shops argue the program needs fewer restrictions to help independent retailers more.
