Question

do you have to a linsence to own a gun in florida?

Answer 1

Yes, you do, and there's a three day waiting period while they run a background check.

Answer 2

No.  You only need a permit to carry a firearm.  I am a cop in Florida and carry my duty weapon under authority of my badge and credentials.  I'm originally from New England and have been here for 2 years and still have yet to get my license to carry a concealed weapon.  I also own a Shotgun and AR-15 that I purchased here in Florida, there was a 5 day waiting period and I was good.  It is $117 for a CCW license in Florida and it takes abour 6 weeks to get (if you are not Law Enforcement).  However, this is all if you pass the FDLE background.  

Personally, only Law Enforcement should be allowed to purchase firearms..

Answer 3

What's a "linsence".

Answer 4

No. You have to have a permit to carry a handgun though.
