Hey, I'm about to turn 18 and after looking at the Florida statues; it doesn't say anywhere that I wouldn't be to own a handgun or long gun. It does say that an 18 year old may not purchase from a license dealer, but CAN purchase from an individual or receive a gift of said firearm. I am asking in regard to hunting. Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine
I have looked every where and the only direct government site regarding this issue is at the ATP here: May an individual between the ages of 18 and 21 years of age acquire a handgun from an unlicensed individual who is also a resident of that same state? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
This should mean that a Florida resident can purchase firearms (both handguns and long guns) from an individual (or receive them as a bonafide gift) without documentation. And also that that same individual between 18-21 can have said firearm in their home and vehicle just the same as a full fledged adult. I know that someone cannot purchase firearms for another person, EXCEPT AS A GIFT, but private sale seems to be fully open. Also, the gun needs to "securely encased" when in a vehicle, which is defined as in a zipper bag, glovebox, or holster when in the vehicle. Thanks for any legal responses here.
