Florida Gun Law "If there is a problem with your record the dealer is told that you are Disapproved, and he may not sell you the firearm."
Does anyone know why a dealer can not sell you a gun in Florida?
 
If it's you that the dealer has said cannot buy the weapon, then ask him why. I'm pretty sure he has to say what disqualified you.
 
The dealer is not told why you were denied. He should provide you with a number or addresss to contacts the NICS people who will tell you.
 
Ok I understand. Reasons for denial include a felony record, history of mental problems, and I can't think of the exact term right now but domestic partner abuse etc. The check that the dealer does is required by federal law.
