Gun Club Estates is a census-designated place (CDP) in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population was 816 at the 2020 census. The CDP is located in an unincorporated area near the southwest corner of the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and is bounded by West Palm Beach Canal on the north, Kirk Road on the east, Gun Club Road on the south, and Military Trail (State Road 809) on the west.The CDP and Gun Club Road are both named after the Palm Beach Gun Club, a skeet and target shooting range that originally opened in the town of Palm Beach in 1911 and remained there until relocating to the modern-day Gun Club Estates area prior to the Korean War. A biography on Arthur Jackson dating to approximately 1952 notes that during the war, military personnel stationed at PBI (then known as the Palm Beach Air Force Base) used the gun ranges for training. By the mid-1950s, however, the owners of the club relocated it to just north of the intersection of Jog Road and Lake Worth Road (State Road 802) as homes for Gun Club Estates were being constructed.

Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida
Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Florida

On September 15, 2024, Donald Trump, then a former president of the United States and nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt by 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, a roofer and Russo-Ukrainian war activist, while golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh was motivated to assassinate Trump to prevent him from being elected. The incident occurred two months after Trump survived a previous assassination attempt while speaking at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. That day, Routh, who had been planning the attack for months, was spotted hiding in shrubbery holding an SKS rifle just outside the fence of the golf course. After hiding there for nearly 12 hours, Routh pointed his weapon through the fence line, approximately 400 yards (370 m) away from Trump. A Secret Service agent noticed this and fired four rounds towards Routh, who then fled the scene and was later captured in Martin County via a traffic stop. Mia Rosalie Monreal, a 6-year-old girl who was going on a car ride with her family, received life-threatening injuries following a car crash caused by the traffic stop, leading to additional charges being filed against Routh on December 18. Routh was indicted on a total of five federal charges and three state charges, all of which Routh pleaded not guilty to. Two conspirators who helped Routh obtain the rifle were also later arrested and charged. In July 2025, Routh chose to fire his public defenders and represent himself. His trial began on September 8, 2025. Two weeks later on September 23, he was found guilty on all five federal counts, including attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate. While the verdict was being read in the courtroom, Routh grabbed a pen and repeatedly attempted to stab himself in the neck, before being tackled by U.S. marshals. On February 4, 2026, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 7 years.
