Private Gun Sales: Don’t Knowingly Sell To The “Wrong” People!
A private individual may sell a firearm to a private buyer in the same state so long as the seller does not know or have reasonable cause to believe that the person purchasing the firearm is prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm under federal or state law. See 18 U.S.C. §922(d).

Private Gun Sales - The Firearm Firm
If you're a Florida resident and a legal gun owner over the age of 21, then you may sell the firearm to another Florida resident over the age of 21 as long as you don't know or have reasonable cause to believe that the buyer is prohibited from gun ownership.
It would behoove a seller to have a Bill of Sale describing what is being sold and a statement that the buyer is not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm in the state of Florida. You should also obtain a copy of the buyer's Driver's License showing his/her Florida residency. Both the buyer and seller should sign and date the Bill of Sale. It's a good idea to retain this Bill of Sale indefinitely. Give the buyer a copy also.
The buyer does NOT have to possess a Concealed Carry Permit, nor does the buyer have to undergo a NICS background check in a private transaction. There is no waiting period in private transactions.
