Can any one show the Florida State Statute that says you can skip the waiting period if youve bought a gun from the same dealer with six months? 0 -
It looks like you can skip the waiting period if you save a receipt from the last time you bought a gun, at the same place. I wonder if the gun shop guys would allow it.
1) PREEMPTION.--Except as expressly provided by general law, the Legislature hereby declares that it is occupying the whole field of regulation of firearms and ammunition, including the purchase, sale, transfer, taxation, manufacture, ownership, possession, and transportation thereof, to the exclusion of all existing and future county, city, town, or municipal ordinances or regulations relating thereto. Any such existing ordinances are hereby declared null and void. This subsection shall not affect zoning ordinances which encompass firearms businesses along with other businesses. Zoning ordinances which are designed for the purpose of restricting or prohibiting the sale, purchase, transfer, or manufacture of firearms or ammunition as a method of regulating firearms or ammunition are in conflict with this subsection and are prohibited.
(2) LIMITED EXCEPTION; COUNTY WAITING-PERIOD ORDINANCES.--
(a) Any county may have the option to adopt a waiting-period ordinance requiring a waiting period of up to, but not to exceed, 3 working days between the purchase and delivery of a handgun. For purposes of this subsection, "purchase" means payment of deposit, payment in full, or notification of intent to purchase. Adoption of a waiting-period ordinance, by any county, shall require a majority vote of the county commission on votes on waiting-period ordinances. This exception is limited solely to individual counties and is limited to the provisions and restrictions contained in this subsection.
(b) Ordinances authorized by this subsection shall apply to all sales of handguns to individuals by a retail establishment except those sales to individuals exempted in this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, "retail establishment" means a gun shop, sporting goods store, pawn shop, hardware store, department store, discount store, bait or tackle shop, or any other store or shop that offers handguns for walk-in retail sale but does not include gun collectors shows or exhibits, or gun shows.
(c) Ordinances authorized by this subsection shall not require any reporting or notification to any source outside the retail establishment, but records of handgun sales must be available for inspection, during normal business hours, by any law enforcement agency as defined in s. 934.02.
(d) The following shall be exempt from any waiting period:
1. Individuals who are licensed to carry concealed firearms under the provisions of s. 790.06 or who are licensed to carry concealed firearms under any other provision of state law and who show a valid license;
2. Individuals who already lawfully own another firearm and who show a sales receipt for another firearm; who are known to own another firearm through a prior purchase from the retail establishment; or who have another firearm for trade-in;
3. A law enforcement or correctional officer as defined in s. 943.10;
4. A law enforcement agency as defined in s. 934.02;
5. Sales or transactions between dealers or between distributors or between dealers and distributors who have current federal firearms licenses; or
6. Any individual who has been threatened or whose family has been threatened with death or bodily injury, provided the individual may lawfully possess a firearm and provided such threat has been duly reported to local law enforcement.
(3) POLICY AND INTENT.--
(a) It is the intent of this section to provide uniform firearms laws in the state; to declare all ordinances and regulations null and void which have been enacted by any jurisdictions other than state and federal, which regulate firearms, ammunition, or components thereof; to prohibit the enactment of any future ordinances or regulations relating to firearms, ammunition, or components thereof unless specifically authorized by this section or general law; and to require local jurisdictions to enforce state firearms laws.
(b) As created by chapter 87-23, Laws of Florida, this section shall be known and may be cited as the "Joe Carlucci Uniform Firearms Act."0 -
Thankfully we don't have to deal with waiting periods in free states. 0 -
Well looky there, a whole page of regulations (read infringements) on the RTKBA.
More examples of the government exceeding its authority and of their deciding which of America's Citizens shall be restricted, or prevented from exercising their God-Given, Bill of Rights enumerated RTKBA.[xx(][:(!]0 -
The only waiting period I can remember is whhen I was in high school and my girlfriend was waiting for one oh never mind thats a different subject I think. 0 -
SuburbanNoize: I have pointed that reg out to many gun shops but they mostly refuse to honor it due to Federal Law.. That is the Law here in Florida but getting one to do, Forget about it..The FFLS in Florida are scared of their own shadows..
Under that statute all they are required to do is make the Call in to FDLE and get the OK and release the gun,.0 -
Learn something every day. I didn't know Florida had a waiting period. 0 -
Only on Handguns James.. Rifles and shotguns can go with you the same day.. Just have to pass the FDLE criminal check..
According to Florida statutes that Noize posted the waiting period is waved for those explaned in the statute.. But the Freakin FFLS wont do it..0 -

Fed law does not require a "waiting period" for firearm purchases. If so, would be required in every state. Really kinda sad- folks that are in the business, but do not know the regs FOR THEIR BUSINESS. 0
