How many rounds can I carry in my pistol in Florida?

Florida has no laws regulating large capacity ammunition magazines.



As of early 2026, there are no state-level restrictions on magazine capacity for handguns in Florida for most law-abiding citizens. You are generally permitted to carry as many rounds as your pistol’s magazine is designed to hold, whether that is 10, 15, 17, or more. While there have been various legislative attempts to introduce "large-capacity magazine" bans (such as Senate Bill 346), Florida law remains protective of firearm owners' rights, and no such ban has been enacted into law. It is important to remember that while the state does not limit capacity, private property owners and federal buildings may have their own specific rules regarding the presence of firearms. Additionally, if you are traveling outside of Florida, you must be aware that neighboring or distant states (like New York or California) have very strict limits, often capping magazine capacity at 10 rounds.
