Florida AG Aims To Kill Statewide Three-Day Gun Wait

AG James Uthmeier says the state will settle a federal challenge that could strike down Florida’s three‐day gun waiting period; a federal judge will now weigh the request.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is moving to scrap the state’s three-day waiting period for buying guns, telling a federal judge he will not defend the law and is ready to declare it unconstitutional.

On Friday, June 5, Uthmeier’s office announced it would settle a federal lawsuit that targets the mandatory delay between a firearm purchase and delivery. If the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida signs off on the deal, the waiting period that kicks in even after a buyer clears a background check could be wiped off the books statewide.
