Ok I've looked throught the ATF and Florida laws. Here is what I understand is legal.

1. I may ship to an individual through UPS Overnight within the State of Florida.

2. I may ship out of state only to an FFL licensee.

I just want to make sure before I do something stupid.

Yup. Transferring out of state, you send it directly to an FFL in the buyer's state. Inside the state does not require an FFL. However, I would not transfer a gun to someone inside the state unless a face-to-face sale.

You have it correct.

Hkmp5sd is giving you some good advice on non FFL instate sales. Caution is the word here.

At the same time I would sell to someone without an FFL provided that they sent me a fax/copy of their DL and signed a bill of sale with a statement that they buyer is not phrohibited from owning or purchasing a handgun. Of course I'd also insist on a phone call to talk in person.

Not willing to send me a copy of your DL and sign the statement?....then no sale or sale only directly through and FFL.

Good Shooting

So I f I purchase a long gun on gunbroker.com and find that myself and the seller are both florida residents I can ask if we are both comfortable with skipping the FFL transfer and have the purchased firearm shipped to me directly?

Refer to items B(8) and B(9) here on the official BATF page. (http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#b7) . This should cover virtually all of your questions.
