Items Necessary for a General Firearm Purchase
Primary Identification
Driver's license, state-issued ID card with picture, or passport. If your primary ID does not show your current address, you must also provide proof of address to complete a firearm purchase.
Proof of Address
- Florida vehicle registration
- Florida fishing license
- County property tax form (must be in your name, not in the name of a trust)
- Florida hunting license
Purchasing a Handgun
With only the identification and proof of address listed above, handgun purchases are subject to a 3–5 business day hold (weekends and holidays excluded). To be exempt from the 3–5 business day hold, you must either hold a valid Florida Concealed Weapon License (CWL) or be trading in a handgun to purchase another handgun. You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a handgun. You must also be at least 21 years of age to purchase a long gun at The Alamo.
Purchasing a Used Gun
The Alamo allows customers to purchase used handguns immediately after we acquire them in store. Under Collier County Ordinance Code 2013-21, § 8, all secondhand goods cannot be sold until 30 days after acquisition. If a used firearm is placed on layaway before the 30-day period ends, the customer must return only after 30 days have passed to complete ATF Form 4473 and undergo a background check. If the customer does not have a Florida CWL and the used gun is a handgun, the date the Form 4473 is completed begins the 3–5 business day hold.
Age Verification
You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a firearm at The Alamo. Our team verifies age and eligibility at the time of purchase in accordance with federal and Florida law.
