I was recommended by a friend to visit this forum to have my question answered. Currently, I have an Indiana Drivers license and I live in Florida. I've been there for 2.5 years and will be there for another 1.5 before I move out of the state. I wanted to purchase a pistol for the first time. Now the legal issues behind that is what I am concerned about. Living in Florida with an Indiana drivers license, am I able to purchase a pistol there? If not, can I have a friend (who is a FL resident) purchase the pistol, and then buy it from him?
Also, how does purchasing from an online store work? If I was to pick up the gun from a major online retailer, I know that I'm supposed to have it shipped to a FLL and pay the fees. Would being an Indiana resident prevent me from picking up the pistol? I'm not really sure how to go about this. I want to try and avoid paying any additional fees if I can. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
