Selling, gifting, or handing down a gun in Florida? This 10-page checklist from Armor Firearms & Training helps you verify the buyer, follow federal, Florida, and Leon County rules in plain words, fill out a bill of sale, and know when a licensed dealer transfer is the safer path.

Led by an NRA-certified law enforcement firearms instructor. Tallahassee, FL.

What's inside:

• At-a-glance rules for same-state private sales, out-of-state buyers, age limits, and Leon County public-place sales

• Seller's step-by-step checklist: before you list, talking with the buyer, hand-off, and after the sale

• Who can't receive a gun, straw-purchase warnings, and red flags that mean walk away

• Gifts, inheritance, minors, and out-of-state transfers

• Blank sample bill of sale plus a records page you can keep

• When to use a dealer: Armor private-party transfers are $30 flat (background check included); first firearm on dealer/online purchases $30, then $15 each additional same day
