§ I  ·  Request a time

A few details and
we will confirm.

Optional. We will text unless you would rather we did not.
Only if something is already on its way. It helps us watch for it.

We usually reply the same day. If it is urgent, ring — that is faster than any form.

Before you drive over

Plate XI

You must be twenty-one to buy any firearm from a dealer in Florida — rifle and shotgun included, not only handguns. If you are eighteen to twenty we would far rather tell you that now than have you make the trip.

A concealed weapon licence does not change this, even though a Florida court allowed eighteen-to-twenty-year-olds to obtain one in 2026. Carrying and buying are governed by different statutes.

Fla. Stat. § 790.065(13)

Shipping a firearm to us

Give this to the dealer, retailer or private seller. Most large retailers keep licences on file — if yours does not have ours yet, tell us who they are and we will send it across the same day.

Message us before it ships so that we know to expect it. A firearm that turns up unannounced from a dealer we have never worked with makes the paperwork harder for everybody, including you.

i · Ranges nearby

Where to shoot it

Revere Gun Range in Pompano Beach is the closest indoor option. Gun World of South Florida in Deerfield Beach runs fifteen lanes. Markham Park in Sunrise is the county's outdoor range — rifle, pistol and shotgun.

Ring ahead. Range hours and fees change rather more often than anybody updates their website.

ii · Timing

How long it takes

A straightforward transfer is usually under twenty minutes at the counter, most of which is the Form 4473 itself. FDLE reports that 98 per cent of checks resolve within minutes.

Gunsmithing turnaround depends on the job — you get a real date, not “a couple of weeks.”

iii · If it goes wrong

A non-approval is not the end

If FDLE returns non-approved there is a formal appeal. It must be filed within sixty days and requires fingerprints taken by a law enforcement agency. We will show you how to begin it rather than shrugging at you.
