She does not have a carry license and wants to buy a handgun with the 4473 in her name. May also want to purchase online. Is this something she can do legally and what is involved. I have never purchased a firearm online so I have no idea how this works. Any help is appreciated.

Have to have it shipped to a FFL here, pay the transfer fee and fill out the 4473 there

I need to find an FFL in my area that will accept the transfer and give this info to whomever she purchases from. She will have to do the waiting period as well. Correct?

Correct. I’m not 100% sure but there might be a “waiting” period without a CC. Either way, if she passes the 4473… she can buy a gun in her name.

The online seller may all ready have an FFL near you in it's records, check with them. Less for you to do.

Check the fine print with the seller. Generally speaking the sale is 'as is' and 'final', even for new firearms, but some will send another in exchange if it was damaged during shipping.

Thank you everyone. I am hoping she gets this done and gets some training from a qualified instructor as well. Maybe even some more business for Jim45.

There will be a waiting period. I think you can go do the paperwork once the online sale is complete and start your waiting period right away. It could be over or nearly over by the time the gun arrives.

30$ is about the cheapest transfer fee around my house ,online is really easy to do and you save a few $ .

Just be very careful on who you buy the gun from.
A whole lot of scams going on these days.

Waiting period? Is this something new? I thought that, in Florida, if background check is clean, you walk out with the gun.

She does not have a carry license. I thought without one, a person had to do the waiting period. Did that change?

Appreciate that Ronnie. After being hacked a couple of times (we did not lose anything much but still not fun) we are a lot more cautious about our dealings. Was thinking will probably buy new which will be through a reputable source. Still looking.

Not without a carry license.

I do almost all of my gun buying at my LGS.
I like having them around more than saving a few bucks…

Not without a carry license.

And I believe depending on the location, that waiting period is either 3 or 5 days. For example, I believe Palm Beach is 5 days without a FCWFL. 🤬

I am going to try and get her to take a certification class, then get her carry license first.

 

[Earl 007]

That is a better idea .

Also, instead of spending $$$ on accessories that can be purchased down the line, get her some professional training (I believe you did mention that earlier). The more confident she is with operating the pistol, the more likely she will walk out the door strapped…..every time. Just my $0.02

That’s for sure! 👍

Go to a range where you can rent a few different guns for her to try.
Just having her pick out a gun she may like the look of, may not be the best choice.
Try a 380 & a 9MM caliber (((the 380 using HST ammo is pretty good self defense ammo and has less recoil then the 9MM))))
The S&W EZ firearms work great and easy to use.
