Are background checks required for private firearms sales in Florida?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No, never required

  3. Yes, but only when the sale occurs at a gun show

  4. Yes, if the seller chooses to require one

The correct answer is: Yes, but only when the sale occurs at a gun show

Background checks are required for private firearms sales in Florida, but only when the sale occurs at a gun show. This is due to the Gun Show Loophole, which exempts private sellers at gun shows from conducting background checks unless they are selling to someone in another state. In all other cases outside of gun shows, private sellers are not required to conduct background checks in Florida.
