Some counties are 5 days..
 Is it a long gun or pistol? Long gun: if he has a hunter safety card or is a fudd like me with a hunting license he can pick up same day. From same link that Kissfan posted "(2) The waiting period does not apply in the following circumstances: (a) When a firearm is being purchased by a holder of a concealed weapons permit as defined in s. 790.06. (b) To a trade-in of another firearm. (c) To the purchase of a rifle or shotgun, upon a person’s successfully completing a minimum of a 16-hour hunter safety course and possessing a hunter safety certification card issued under s. 379.3581. A person who is exempt from the hunter safety course requirements under s. 379.3581 and holds a valid Florida hunting license is exempt from the mandatory waiting period under this section for the purchase of a rifle or shotgun." |

(1)(a)A mandatory waiting period is imposed between the purchase and delivery of a firearm.
Purchase" means the transfer of money or other valuable consideration to the retailer. The waiting period started when he bought the gun from the dealer and ends 72 hours later not including weekends or holidays if it was a 3 day wait. The backgrounds check must be complete before he can take possession of the pistol. |

I’ve had dealers that do it from when money changed hands and ones that do it from the 4473 date.
I think the money changed hands ones are right, trying to convince the FFLs that do it from the 4773 date is going to be a big old waste of time and aggravation. It’s similar to FFLs that don’t accept transfers from individuals. They’re wrong, but it won’t get you to change how they do things unfortunately. In the future find a dealer that does the wait from the receipt/payment date or just get a ccw. |

CWP is the answer, the transfering dealer needs to be able to prove the wait most do wait from 4473 signature easy to prove the wait occurred. Others may use common sense.

This law sucks but getting a CWP isn’t a huge deal. Does anyone know if a out of state CWP honoured by Florida will help you bypass the 3 day waiting period? Example Military stationed in Florida with a resident PA permit? Or will I need to get a Florida permit also (probably going to do regardless) |

Alachua county is five days and the hunting license exemption doesn't exist here.
Called Cabela's out in Utah on a Saturday and bought a rifle via phone, shipped to G'ville BassPro. Billed my card Monday. Rifle shipped Monday. Rifle arrived and I did paperwork and paid for xfer ($5 call actually, xfer was free) and while I passed the bg check immediately, I had to wait until Tuesday to take rifle home. |

Yeah, I told him he needs to get a CCW permit. It’s not hard. I had mine since a moved to Florida in 95. Much more convenient.

It starts on the date of purchase.
Some dealers will do it when the 4473 is filled out. Its so there is clearly a date signed in both spots 5 days apart. Otherwise they have to make a copy of the receipt/order confirmation, put it with the 4473 and add a note / statement why it was released earlier. Dealer can make up their rules, its their business. Don't like it, transfer to someone else! And if it purchased it Monday, He technically could of picked it up on Thursday. Or you could argue Wednesday after 5pm. (Close of Federal Business day). If you really wanted to try and push for it ASAP. |

As others have stated, the waiting period starts on the date of purchase, so the FFL's that use the date of the background check are wrong. But good luck trying to convince them they are wrong. CWP is definitely the way to go.

Well, he got his new pew and he is happy. He will not be shopping at the LGS in question any more. I told him as much but he didn’t want to drive an extra ten miles so he learned his lesson. This particular shop is actually a chain here in Florida and I have heard and have seen some pretty shady crap from them and have not dealt with them in years. I will give a plug to a great and honest shop here in Lee County, Shoot Center in Cape Coral. It’s my go to shop for everything that goes bang!

My typical FFL and I have been over it multiple times with one another, but I have my CWP so it's a moot point for any transaction for myself. Guns for relatives, when I've steered them to him, are what kept reigniting the discussion... but, the guy is cheap and super reliable, so I like him |
