I live in Florida and I have my own rules when I sell a firearm.

1) Obviously the buyer has to be a Florida resident.

2) I have to know the buyer personally.

3) The buyer has to have a valid Florida concealed weapons permit which means he has had a background check and has had firearm safety training.

As a responsible gun owner I wish to be as certain as I can that any firearm I sell ends up in the hands of another responsible person.

I hope this legislation passes at the national level.
