| Might be a dumb question but is a stripped lower subject to Florida's 3 day waiting period? I know that they are listed as "Other Firearms" on the 4473 and you have to be 21 to buy them, but not sure about the waiting period. I did a search but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance. |

I believe yes since a lower is "The Firearm" per BATF&E. If you have a CCW...then all you have to wait is 5mins for them to do the FDLE check.. 
Correct me if I am wrong. BTW...Miami is a 5 day wait in most gun shops. I thought for most of Florida, the waiting period is for handguns only(this will be in Lee County and I don't think they go above and beyond state law). I guess my question is that since on the 4473, a stripped lower is supposed to be listed as "other firearm" does Florida treat it as a long gun or handgun as far as waiting period is concerned? |

Quoted: According to the description on the 4473 it is neither a handgun nor a long gun. Frames and receivers fall under the "other" category. If it doesn't meet the legal definition of a handgun then no waiting period applies. So Chuck... falls under 'other' non handgun so no wait... if it's engraved as pistol lower... I would assume, it would carry the wait period yes? David |

To the best of my knowledge, the lower is not classified until it assembled as a rifle or pistol. |

Hmmm? Tampa must be different. I had to wait three days for both a shotgun purchase at a gun show and also a transfer on a stripped Noveske lower. I was told that the waiting period was for all firearms unless you have a CCP.  As per Florida's preemption of all firearms Laws the only lattitude Counties have is the wait period. Only handguns are subject to the waiting period. Your dealer is a tool and should not be supported.

I bought the shotgun from Shoot Straight at the Tampa Gunshow, and did the transfer on the lower at A1 Tactical in St Pete. Had to wait both times.
