Miami would be your best choice but also most expensive one.
February is high season. It is warm enough to hang at the beach, go in the ocean, hit a pool party, Stone crabs are in season, hit a great club and/or lounge (E11even is open 24 hours), and there are a couple of cool events that month including The Coconut Grove Arts Festival and South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
Wynwood does have a shooting range as well as graffiti art and craft breweries (though please shoot before you drink).
Feel free to PM me (or I can post here) for suggested area, hotels, and where and when to go if you choose Miami.

Google above places.

You are quite the Miami connoisseur. Awesome stuff.
Depends on what you're looking for...but I'd say Miami is setup the best for tourism.
Although, it appears you mentioned dive bars? There isn't a dive bar within 100 miles of Miami Dives do not jive with the culture there.
As others have mentioned, always consider New Orleans.

Dives do not jive with the culture there.
