I remember people in college talking about going way for Spring Break... I always worked if there was a job available.
I never went to a college that had a break. So it didn't exist for us at all.

We always headed to the mountains to go fishing for spring break.

It's known as a retirement area and it's pretty rural. I don't think there is much IT out there.
That's how everyone describes Florida in general.
As a Brit, can confirm - It's just full of Retired people except for like, 2 weeks of Spring Break stuff isn't it?
Spring break to US locations is rather sad. Anyone who can goes outside the country.
TBH I don't even know what Spring break actually is...I assume its a school holiday where everyone just gets wasted...but that's just from watching american teen films etc..?
It's a new thing since I was in college. People didn't really do it then, it was just starting to be an idea. Spring break is a break in the winter (um.. what?) that in recent years has turned into college students going to cheap foreign beach locations in huge masses to get totally wasted where they would be underage to drink in the US since college students can't drink in the US (creating the massive alcoholism and binge drinking problems known in the US and unknown elsewhere.)
So...you can legally buy a rifle before you can drink yeah..?

I tihnk so. It may vary by state. But I know in Georgia, you can buy a rifle / handgun at 18.

Yeah, but many areas are worse than others with retirees. Where I live there isn't a huge number of older people like you would find in St. Petersburg (Home of the newly wed and nearly dead). As someone already mentioned a good number of the retirees are Canadian. Which is also the reason Florida hockey teams have a decent size market compared to other places.
You can basically break Florida up into 3 sections. South Georgia (which is anywhere North of Orlando). Lot's of nascar fans as someone put it. Central Florida (my area... Orlando, Space Center, Beaches, etc.). South Florida ( Miami style living with big pocket books).

My quick google said handguns are 21 in most States, which is the age for alcohol if I remember rightly?

Yes. Rifles can be purchased by those under 18 most places (many places? some places at least.) Hand guns is normally higher, but not rifles. Cigarettes and military you can do at 18. Drinking is 21 in at least 49 states and is a major contributor to the US being such a high drug use country. (When I was in Spain people were terrified by the economic conditions sending people to the English-speaking, heavy drug use countries and what it was going to do to their culture to have junkies returning.)

Difference is...
- MOST states are 21 for handguns, ALL are for alcohol.
- NO county denies handguns I don't think, TONS of counties are dry.

North Florida (south georgia) has very little in common with Central and South Florida. It's more like the rest of the southeastern United States.

I never went to a college that had a break. So it didn't exist for us at all.
Ours was always like a month after everyone else went. So I always just worked because no one else was on break at that time anyway. I also worked through college too, so it just kind of made sense to do that.
My senior year I had 20 credits both semesters and worked about 30 hours a week.

Not only are tons of counties dry. But then you have individual towns that are dry inside of wet counties. The legality of selling alcohol in the US changes by the mile or quarter mile in some places closer to NYC.

I went to college in a dry town. It changed my senior year. -

Yeah, am I remembering correctly that the town/area that Jack Daniels is made in is Dry..?

@coliver In Texas, we have one precinct of a town that is wet and the rest of the town is dry. (at least we used to, don't know if it is still true.)

Florida is one of if not the most lenient state on firearms. a Florida CWP is excepted in more states than anywhere else. You can also open carry while hunting and fishing. This includes being in route to hunting and fishing. So technically you could keep rods in your vehicle and open carry whenever you wanted.

I don't think dry counties exist in Florida. I've never come across one.

Pennsylvania is very lax. You can open carry anywhere. It's about $25 for a carry permit and takes about 10 minutes.
