I assume in Fl you need a permit for a hand gun but not a handy 12Ga. shotgun.
Is there a nearby range to practice?

You do NOT need a permit to buy either a handgun or that manly shotgun here in Florida. If you have a CWL (Concealed Weapons License) there is NO waiting period for a handgun. Without the CWL you have a three (3) day waiting period. That's 3 business days. You still need to fill out a 4377 at the dealer, who will call in NCIC to get approval to sell you the firearm, that is for both long guns and handguns.
Further if you buy either from a private party, there is no paper work that is needed.
Google ranges in Central Florida, Eustis Gun Club in Travaras is close and has everything you want for shooting, pistol, shotgun and rifle. There is Ocala Sportsman Association that is very good. I would stay away from the range in the Ocala National Forest, no supervision.
Hope that this clears that up for you.
