Good afternoon
I'm moving to Florida from Massachusetts soon. I don't currently own a firearm, but the circumstances of the new job are such that I really want to get one. (I did grow up with rifles and shotguns and took a hunter safety course long ago so I'm not completely new to guns.) I will apply to CCW in Florida, but the problem is how to get the gun. My housing arrangements will not provide me with a utility bill or lease. My MA DL still has a couple good years on it and considering this may be a 1 year job, I would like to just keep the license if possible.
I have read some discussions here about students facing similar types of situations and it appears that I won't be able to buy from a dealer given this situation. My question is, can I legally buy from a private seller. If so, what's the best way to go about finding one?
Another question: if I can find the hunter safety course certificate from about 20 years ago, would that be sufficient for the training FL wants for the CCW?
Thanks and god bless.
