They only sell rifles, everything else would have to be orders. It would require a background check, but no registration, licensees, etc. Handguns would have to be ordered. All would require only a background check and 24 hour "waiting period", which be the time just to PLACE THE ORDER. DUH??????


Way around this? Get a FAMILY MEMBER with a CCW permit to buy it. Wouldn't take as long.

You think this is A OK? Tell me my husband, or any other "legal owner" , couldn't just GIVE a family member a gun if they wanted to? That is not illegal.

Tell me about THIS, and if this is ILLEGAL, or cannot be done???? You don't like that I am Anti-Gun, and that there are so many LOOPHOLE to acquire a gun in Florida.

I could get a gun in 24 hours (whether me or through my husband), no questions asked of ME if HE bought it, perfectly LEGAL, in Florida by just by being a little devious. LEGAL. lol

Buy a gun for a GIFT for another person, and only YOU will require the background check.

Merry Christmas Present.
