PLEASE WATCH #HABERPA'S VIDEOFAQ # 418) What are the Rules about Buying a Gun in Florida? - https://youtu.be/UqP7F-xcQkM
This Blog Post is intended to serve three purposes: First and foremost it's a PSA (i.e. a "Public Service Announcement" that's designed to provide the folks with important information), it's part of the rollout of the latest batch of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs highlighting # 418) What are the Rules about Possessing a Gun in Florida? - https://youtu.be/UqP7F-xcQkM and it's a shameless plug for #MichaelHaberLaw (#HaberPA's YouTube channel). Disclosures complete let's get to it:
- The PSA: #HaberPA's VideoFAQ # 418 explains the Rules for Buying a Firearm in the newly "Constitutional Carry" State of Florida.
Thanks for asking me “What are the Rules about Buying a Gun in Florida?”
Florida is a Constitutional Carry State, meaning that there’s no longer a “permit requirement” to carry a concealed a firearm in public, but Constitutional Carry doesn’t mean that anyone can carry anything anywhere; rather it means that non-disqualified persons can carry non-disqualified weapons in non-disqualified places without applying, paying for and securing a Concealed Weapons Permit. Further, Constitutional Carry doesn’t mean “Constitutional Purchase”; rather there are strict rules, both State and Federal, for purchasing any firearm.
The first rule is the simplest rule, and it’s that you can’t be a disqualified person, but since I’ve got another VideoFAQ (# 417) which discusses the many purchase disqualifiers I’ll leave that here and get onto the other hard rules for buying a gun in FL (note that you can find them all on the FDLE’s website at the page entitled “Requirements to Purchase a Firearm”)
1) You must be at least 21 years of age.
2) You must be a Florida resident.
3) You must produce a valid ID.
4) You must fill out and execute a sworn ATF Form 4473;
5) You must pass a background check; and
6) There’s a mandatory 3 day waiting period, excluding weekends and state holidays, between purchase and delivery of all firearms (but note that Alachua, Broward, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties have extended the waiting period from 3 to 5 days).
There are some exceptions to firearm purchase rules in FL, for instance: If you have a Concealed Weapons Permit then both the background check and waiting period requirements are waived - the reason for this is that by securing a CWP you’ve already been fully vetted and approved by the State to purchase, possess and to conceal carry. That said you can rest assured that the Department of Agriculture (which is the assigned regulatory agency in FL) actively monitors all licensees and rapidly suspends CWPs for things like Felony Arrests, issuance of Protective Injunctions and Mental Health Commitments.
That said I thank you for your question and I appreciate your having asked it. Please remember that at #HaberPA it’s all about reasonable doubt and if you like this video then please subscribe to our YouTube channel / VideoFAQ as we’ll be putting out more soon!

Each #HaberPA VideoFAQ focuses on a specific question, most are 1 - 2 minutes long, but several in this latest batch are closer to the 3 minute mark (another relevant aside alert: "Necessity" is what we call an "Affirmative Defense", or a defense which negates the "intent" or Mens Rea" element of an otherwise criminal act as the actor's illegal conduct only occurred under threat, usually threat of harm), and while we may not always be successful in our endeavor we do consistently strive to make each VideoFAQ short, pointed, creative, entertaining and, most importantly, informative.
While I conjure some of the "questions" that form our VideoFAQs a substantial portion of them are in fact inspired by real world questions from others (e.g. clients, potential clients, random folks on social media / the internet, friends, family, colleagues, etcetera). Should you have a legal questions that you'd like #HaberPA to address then you're welcome - encouraged even - to SUBMIT it / them to me, be it by email (Sharky910@aol.com), calling or texting my cell phone (305-798-2220), messaging me on X /Twitter, MeWe or Truth Social (@Sharky910), on YouTube (via MichaelHaberLaw) or PM'ing me on FB (Miami.Criminal.Lawyer) and, assuming that your proposed topic is both appropriate and fits within our wheelhouse then I'll be happy to provide you with a custom tailored video answer to your relevant question.
