Holcomb Proposes Waiving Firearm Waiting Period for LEOs

Representative Jeff Holcomb (R-Spring Hill) introduces a bill that would waive the mandatory three-day waiting period for firearm purchases specifically for law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and military service members. Holcomb argues that this change would align the purchasing process for these trained individuals with that of concealed carry permit holders, who can obtain firearms the same day after passing a background check.

The proposal received unanimous support from the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee, passing with an 18-0 vote. Holcomb emphasized that these professionals undergo more comprehensive training and vetting than many concealed carry permit holders, making the case for expedited access to firearms. If approved by the Florida Legislature, the bill could take effect on October 1, 2025, marking a significant shift in the state’s firearm purchasing regulations.
