I have purchased 3 firearms from WalMart in the last 3 weeks. I was in and out in 20 minutes each time. They do have a silly policy about managers carrying the firearm out the door for you, but no delay. This is in NE Tennessee.

I know, but the item in question was if it is a WalMart policy. It isn't corporate.
Several friends and neighboors bought 22's and shotguns at Wallmart in Vero and there was no such law in effect. Call the state and ask them.
Florida law permits private firearms transfers between residents without processing through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).
The Florida Constitution, Art VIII Sec. 5(b), permits counties to enact ordinances that require a criminal history records check and a 3 to 5-day waiting period when any part of a firearm sale is conducted on property to which the public has the "right of access",[18] such as at a gun show conducted on public property. These local option ordinances may not be applied to holders of a concealed weapons permit/license.[19] Only Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties have enacted such ordinances.

The nice thing about Freedom and Liberty is that Walmart can choose to make you wait 3 days and you can choose to not buy at Walmart

What counties are you talking about, In Palm Beach, Martin, Indian river, PSl you may walk in and buy a rifle and walk out with it, isn't that what you said you can't do?
If you just want to argue I am too busy. It's like a bad Fedex store, you got someone who doesn't know the law.

As of today, you may walk into the Wallmart in Vero, plunk down your 400 and change, and walk out with your shotgun, with no liscense of any kind. This is the current "non policy", they do a 30 minute proprietary background check, and you get your long gun and leave with it, the two gentlemen in the gun section said their check takes about 30 minutes.
Ammo is stocked at 8PM, every night, and disappears fast, they have more 223 than 22, and mucho 12 gauge and 45. The rest including 40 is iffy at best.
They do sell a "cricket" 22 caliber rifle, "kid size" for 100 bucks. Which is a good deal if you wanr a small semi auto 22. Plenty of scoped bolt guns,and 12 gauge pump, semi auto and lever action long guns. More decent scopes than I have seen prior to today. "not anything great, but a few Nikon and Leupold cheaper models.
So there is no 3 day wait of any kind, nor did they hear of any such wait in other stores.
If you need 223 I know they will have some tonight as I am going back for boxes of 20 for 12 dollars, "hopefully they will have some left".
But any Fl guys who are up this way now have the info straight from the employees who work there.
I am accumulating all ammo as it comes down, like averaging in when buying stocks, this way I don't get killed if it takes off on me, or drops way down, "which i don't see happening unless guns dissapear.

No the employees are the same guys that have been there for the 4+ years I live here. They were both standing there while the one discussed this with me. Just their own 30 minute check. I said ,"so I can buy that shotgun and walk out with it" and he said yes.

Why are they allowed to override the state pre-emption law?

So come up to Vero and we will go and buy a shotgun, If I am right you pay for it, and vica versa. These are the wallmart rules locally where I live, they don't know of any other rules.
Also they don't sell handguns, so that is not even an issue. Ammo was out last night just like they said.
