I know that interstate sales of firearms requires an FFL to handle the transfer, what about a transfer (shipped) inside the SAME state. Does it have to be shipped to an FFL?

There is no federal law agenst it. But check your state laws.

Does anyone know if there are any state laws about this in Florida?

A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922(a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]

+1 on checking your state laws

Check, www.nraila.org/GunLaws/StateLaws.aspx?ST=FL.

I don't see anything there that says you need to for private party transfers through mail, in person or otherwise.
