Do you know the Cty. law in St. Lucie reading the purchase of a pistol at a gunshow? Is there a requirement for a permit, background check & a 3 day waiting period?
Not sure, but I believe it's a 5 day waiting period unless you have a CC license.
the waiting period for the purchase of a hand gun in the state of Florida is 3days
5 working day waiting period on ALL handguns…Unless u have CCW.yes background check & all that good stuff…..
That is Florida law….cities make NO difference..
If you are trading a firearm no waiting period also its not florida law it depends on the county Martin is a 3 day wait unless ccw trade known legal purchaser.Floorida lets countys decide waiting periods background check is mandatory there was talk about ccw waive but don't know if it happened
St. Lucie County and he city of Port St. Lucie impose no additional waiting period for handguns or long guns beyond the state laws. Withthat said, FL law states a 3 business day waiting period for handgun purchases from a FFL dealer only. Private party sales require no wait or background check. To fully answer your question, if you are purchasing a handgun from a FFL dealer at a gunshow, then yes a background check and the 3 business day wait will apply. If purchasing a long gun from a FFL dealer, the. A background check would apply. Any purchase from a private party at the gunshow would be as simple as exchanging cash and merchandise with a handshake. This applies also to a deal with another gunshow patrin walking around. There are many great deals found that way in addition to the tables set up.
As for the other posters in response to your question, FL law allows counties and cities to pass stricter waiting peiods up to 5 business days for both handguns and long guns. Palm Beach county is one of the few I can think of off the top of my head where there is a longer than state mandated wait and it applies to long guns as well as hand guns. A CWP holder is exempt from the waiting periods in all cases in FL.
should be a good show.
@ mark gardner wrong—you can make a private sell without a background check to another person but if you go through a dealer, then a background check yes.
what if I trade a gun for a gun to a dealer? background check, waiting period?
Will there be concealed weapons class here at show
44 yrs carrying, no check mandatory on a trade even to a gun store from unlicensed owner, some ask for it anyway. Also the tax is the net price, old gun subtracted from new gun. If the gave you $300 on your old gin on $500 dollar gun, tax is only on the $200
I have an shotgun that I would like to sell. Would this be a forum to go to and talk to vendors about buying it??
Yes. This would be the perfect event for selling. Be sure the gun is empty and walk around collecting offers.
Does anyone know the times for the concealed weapon class?
Over 40 years with license in NYC and FL, 3 Days is pretty much the norm, unless the County has a special circumstance. Licensed Carry has no wait, immediate walk away with weapon. Private sales are unmonitored, by law, you need to make sure you are selling to a resident who is not in any way prohibited from having firearms. This is just a yes or no question, as there is no paperwork that a felon is or isn’t, going to show you.
Use common sense, if someone looks like they are a risk or says they are buying the gun for someone else, do not sell. These shows are monitored by ATF and Police undercovers. If the purchaser says he wants a gun that will kill someone with one shot, or something stupid like that, refuse the sale. It’s not something you want on your conscience and it’s illegal. Ask for a bill of sale, ask to see ID, if they won’t show either, walk away.
