Gun Gallery is a family owned and veteran operated gun store and indoor shooting range at 10268 Beach Blvd in Jacksonville, Florida. It opened in April 1993 and has a retail firearms store, a Class 3 (NFA) dealer operation, two ranges, rental guns, and instructor-led classes.
There are two separate ranges. The pistol range is up front in the retail store area, with 9 lanes, pistol only. It allows any handgun in handgun calibers up to .44 Mag, with no time limit. The rifle range is at the back of the parking lot, with 8 lanes, and allows pistols, rifles and shotguns. It handles any pistol caliber and rifle calibers up to 3200 fps / 3200 ftp. Shotguns must fire slugs or buckshot only. Any pistol caliber carbine, including those with a stabilizing brace, and any firearm chambered in .22LR rifle must be shot on the rifle range. Hollowpoints are allowed; steel-core or steel-cased ammo, tracers, incendiary and armor-piercing rounds are not.
Classes are taught by Roger F. Carlson, an NRA Certified Instructor and former Police Firearms Instructor. Offerings are the Florida Concealed Weapon License class, a Basic Handgun & Instruction course, Beginners AR-15 Training, and Beginners Defensive-Tactical Shotgun Training. The CWL class is held on the first and third Wednesday of each month, and a gun is provided for it at no extra charge.
Gun Gallery rents over 100 guns from a range of manufacturers, and eye and ear protection can be rented. Range fees and rental fees paid on the day can be applied toward a firearm purchased on the same visit, and a 30-day range pass is offered with firearm purchases (not on military and law enforcement discounted guns). Annual pistol, rifle and combined memberships are available for singles and families. The store keeps a variety of NFA items in stock and offers one-stop NFA registration, with fingerprints and photos done in the store; customers can use their NFA items on the ranges while waiting for ATF approval. The store also does transfers for guns bought online from other FFL holders.
