A Bill of Sale for a gun in Florida is a written document recording a firearm purchase.
It includes:
A Florida Gun Bill of Sale can protect both parties. The buyers can use it to prove ownership.
To protect yourself, keep your Firearm BOS short but clear. You should generally include the following details:
| What to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Buyer and seller details | Add both full names, addresses, and contact details so it is clear who took part in the sale. |
| Date and place of sale | Note when and where the transfer happened to create a clear record of the transaction. |
| Firearm information | Include the make, model, serial number, and caliber or gauge so the firearm is properly identified. |
| Sale price | Write down the amount paid and the payment method to avoid future disputes. |
| Legal statements | Confirm that the seller is the lawful owner and that the buyer can legally possess a firearm. |
| Condition / "as is" note | State that the firearm is sold in its current condition unless you agree otherwise. |
| Signatures | Both of you should sign the document so there is proof that the sale was agreed. |

To complete a firearm sale, Florida residents should follow these steps.
Florida law allows certain people age 21 and older to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm without a license, subject to statutory restrictions. Open carry remains generally unlawful unless a specific exception applies.
If you prefer to get a license to carry (LTC) for reciprocity purposes, you must meet the following requirements (Fla. Stat. § 790.06(2)):
A concealed weapons permit exempts buyers from criminal background checks and the 3-5 days waiting period that comes with it. Fla. Const. Art. 8 § 5(b)
Persons who may be prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms under Florida or federal law include:
Florida generally requires buyers to be 21 to purchase a firearm from a dealer, subject to limited exceptions.
A Bill of Sale does not make an unlawful firearm transfer lawful. Missing or inaccurate details may reduce its value as evidence of the transaction, and a transfer can still be unlawful if it violates Florida or federal firearm laws.
In these cases, the Bill of Sale would be considered "invalid."
