If you meet these conditions and the gun is a legally owned gun, then you don't NEED to have any paperwork done to make the sale.
However, I would recommend that you draw up a simple Bill of Sale stating what is being sold, who the buyer and seller are, date of the sale, and amount gun is being sold for. Then both Buyer and Seller sign the Bill of Sale and furnish a copy of the Bill of Sale to each for their records.

Thanks, good information. That disqualifies me since Florida is not yet my primary residence. Will be eligible for Medicare soon and then I can declare Florida as primary residence, not pay state income taxes, and get homestead exemption. Until then I have to buy insurance through the Massachusetts state exchange to be in network for our doctors up north. I’m otherwise in no hurry to get any older, but can’t wait to be eligible for Medicare and the national network that goes with it.
