Oh god..
You are not allowed to buy a gun unless you got a permit for it. My uncle just graduated in the Police Academy at Broward Community College which is located in Davie, Florida (just a bit north of Miami). I went up there for his graduation and I had asked him about this new law. He told me people are overexaggerating this new law. You would have to still go through a series of hell to not end up arrested.
A long term investigation, polygraph testing, background and criminal tests/checks, family background checks, etc etc, would take place. Basically, they would even investigate your neighborhood, your friends, your friend's friends, and the whole nine yards.
Seriously, if you didn't have a permit but yet you shot somebody for defending yourself (and the gun is yours), you are still going to jail for possesion of weapon. And possesion is 3 years.
Florida's Main Law
"10-20-LIFE"
-Mandates a minimum 10 year prison term for certain felonies, or attempted felonies in which the offender possesses a firearm or destructive device
-Mandates a minimum 20 year prison term when the firearm is discharged
-Mandates a minimum 25 years to LIFE if someone is injured or killed
-Mandates a minimum 3 year prison term for possession of a firearm.
-Mandates that the minimum prison term is to be served consecutively to any other term of imprisonment imposed
And if you want to sign a petition about this new law, just goto this site:
