I don't have a concealed permit and Shooters let me leave with the Mossberg 505 shotgun after they got the return call on my background check and I paid for it. Only waited about 20 minutes. I live in Duval, maybe other counties make you wait several days?

You don't actually need a concealed permit for a shotgun or any other long gun/rifle.

As it's a little hard to conceal a shotgun in your pocket.

The three (3) day waiting period is only applicable to handguns(pistols/revolvers). And is commonly referred to as a cooling off period, to keep one from getting PO'd at someone running down and buying a Glock and blowing them away that day.

The "cooling off" period only applies to your first purchase, no?

My first handgun had the waiting period. My second handgun purchase, 3 years later, did not.

Waiting Periods
See Regulating Guns in America: Waiting Periods for a comprehensive discussion of this issue.

The Florida Constitution imposes a mandatory three-day waiting period, excluding weekends and legal holidays, between the retail purchase and delivery of any handgun.54 This waiting period does not apply to concealed weapons permit holders or to the "trade-in of another handgun."55

The Florida Constitution also authorizes counties to enact three to five-day waiting periods, excluding weekends and legal holidays, in connection with the sale of any firearm occurring in or on "property to which the public has the right of access" within the county.56 This provision is directed at gun shows and other events open to the public outside of retail firearms establishments. Concealed weapons permit holders are not subject to such waiting periods when purchasing a firearm.57
