Actually I am well trained in firearms. My father was a life member of the NRA and a gun collector. I was taught respect for guns at an early age. He and my grandfathers all hunted and we all owned long guns. During a couple of summers I spent some time at a camp where I won several awards for competition shooting. I had my hunter's safety class taught by IBM for employees and their families when I was 12.
The reason I asked the question in the first place is that in NYS you can buy a handgun but by legal technicality you cannot even take it out of the store to take home unless you have a CCW permit. That's why I wanted to know what the FL law says.
Finally, I agree with you. If you are going to buy a gun..ANY..gun..you should have adequate training prior to buying one.
