GCGF,
I've been trying to get someone at the FDLE/AG to give me a yay/nay on when the 3 day wait starts, specifically for transfers. I called the AG... they sent me to the FDLE.... FDLE told me to read the manual....... the manual told me to call the AG........ shit.
Nobody is willing to provide anything. I sent the below :
Subject: 3 day wait for firearms
I'm looking for clarification on the 3 day wait and when it starts. I
understand that the wait starts at "purschase" from retailer. I'm concerned
about when it starts for a transfer for a purchase made online then sent to a
FFL in the state to do the 4473. Does the wait start from the purchase from
the out of state retailer? Does the wait start from payment to the dealer who
will be accepting the shipment for his services? Is the AGO 92-97 still
accurate with reflecting a "day" as 24 hrs?
I received the following reply:
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi received your email inquiring about Florida's firearm laws. Attorney General Bondi asked that I respond.
