FFL Dealers in Florida
4,546 federally licensed firearms dealers across Florida, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Pick a city for names, addresses and phone numbers.
This is the ATF licensee list — who holds a licence and where. It is not opening hours, not transfer fees, and not a guarantee that a given dealer handles private-party transfers. Call before you drive.
What Florida requires for a private transfer
- Florida does not require a private sale to go through a licensed dealer. Using one anyway is what puts a background check and a paper trail behind the sale — which is the part that protects the seller if the firearm later turns up somewhere it should not.
- There is a 3-day waiting period in Florida between purchase and taking possession.
- Transfers between immediate family members are generally exempt in Florida, though documenting one is still worth doing.
- 3-day wait on handguns. FDLE state check.

Another 806 Florida dealers are in towns with fewer than 8 licensees each, so they do not have a page of their own. Search by ZIP code to find those.
Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes.
