Florida

 

The State of Florida has stated that there is to be a 3 Day Business waiting period for any handgun. The State of Florida has further stated that any county within Florida can make the waiting period longer if they so choose and add longguns as well.

 

Here in Monroe County there is no waiting period for longguns what so ever. There is a 3 business day wait for all handguns as follows.

 

If you purchase a firearm on:

 

Monday then you can pick it up on Friday

Tuesday then you pick it up on Saturday

Wednesday then you can pick it up on Tuesday

Thursday then you can pick it up on Wednesday

Friday then you can pick it up on Thursday

Saturday then you can pick it up on Thursday

Sunday then you can pick it up on Thursday

 

* IF THERE ARE HOLIDAYS THEN ADD AN ADDITIONAL DAY DURING THE WAITING PERIOD.

 

If you are trading In a firearm or if you hold a Florida Concealed Permit then there is no wait as long as you pass the FDLE background check.
