Not trying to stir up anything, but how I read the law (FL statute 790.335) It is unlawful to maintain any transaction list and that to do so is a third degree felony.
790.335 Prohibition of registration of firearms.--
(2) PROHIBITIONS.--No state governmental agency or local government, special district, or other political subdivision or official, agent, or employee of such state or other governmental entity or any other person, public or private, shall knowingly and willfully keep or cause to be kept any list, record, or registry of privately owned firearms or any list, record, or registry of the owners of those firearms.
Only listed exceptions are pawnbrokers, and from the looks of it all records are to be destroyed after a certain period of time. The only permament exception is the documentation required of a FFL by Federal government.
(4) PENALTIES.--
(a) Any person who violates a provision of this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
Again, not tryin to step on any toes. I have never given nor asked for personal information for a FTF firearms transaction. With this law I can effectively tell the government it's none of their buisness if they come looking. Not only that, but would you really like to give that info up to just some stranger, that isn't held liable if something ever becomes of it?
Now if I'm wrong, please point it out. As I would not want to be spouting any untruths I am just trying to pass along a little info I have discovered on our gun friendly states website. Here is a link to the whole statute.
