Tax-free holiday on guns and gear starts this summer

Floridians can buy firearms, ammunition, and outdoor gear for fishing and bow hunting tax free — beginning later this summer.

It’ll begin on September 8th, and run through December 31.

Florida residents can also enjoy a tax break on camping gear.
