Backstory:
Here in Florida in the last two or so years, they passed a law that basically says unless you possess the CWFL (Concealed Weapon and Firearm License), a buyer has to wait three days before taking possession of a handgun, rifle or shotgun.
Here's my query:
Joe Buyer goes to a gun show; he does NOT have the CWFL. Buys a gun from a FFL, passes the BG check etc. all is well. However, since he cannot take possession for three days, and since most gun shows are two day affairs here, how does Joe Buyer take possession when the three days are up?
Can the FFL ship the gun directly to him since he passed the BG check?
Does he have to travel to the FFL's place of business? I ask this because, here in north Florida, it is ~400 miles from Pensacola to Jacksonville, with the Tallahassee area almost in the middle and another 150 or so from Tallahassee to the Gainesville area. Buyers and sellers both travel from those distances to attend
If the buyer was from Pensacola and the seller from Jacksonville, that would be an 800 mile round trip to pick up a gun legally purchased with the buyer's background vetted and okayed.
Or, would the seller ship it to the buyer's FFL and then he has to go through yet another BG check?
I am sure Frank, Dogtown and others have a better insight into this than I do.
