Buying a handgun

[Magikarp117]

So I'm from Ca originally and I'm here from the Coast Guard now, I want to buy a handgun but my Driver's license is expired I renewed it but never got my new one even though this one is expired will it still work? Sorry for the dumb question

Simple answer, no.

Maybe one of the FFL-holders can chime in.
For active-duty military on permanent assignment orders to Florida, the military ID, plus the current/valid orders, plus proof of an address (utilities bill with your name and the address) should suffice. If my memory is 100%...

For you, with the USCG being part of DHS now (right?) yet still considered a military service under some rules, I'm not sure about the applicable BATFE rules.

Are you a CA resident but on permanent duty orders assigned to Florida?

Regardless, congrats on leaving Kommifornia, and welcome to a free state.

I'll have to ask either way I'm going to get a FL license but I need to hurry because I don't know how long the gun I want will be available, and yes Ca resident permanent station here

If your mil ID is current with pcs orders, you're good. No FL CCW gets you the 3 day wait though.

What are you looking at?

FWIW. Some ffls have been known to sit on things waiting for people to get back from offshore/det/ deployment and or to get the required proof of ID/ residency.
