A federal judge in Florida declined to immediately declare the state's three-day licensed-dealer firearm waiting period unconstitutional despite the National Rifle Association and state defendants jointly requesting that relief in a suit filed in August 2025. The parties sought a declaration limited to holding times after a background check finishes plus a permanent injunction, but Judge Merryday said the constitutional questions need a fuller record. He invited the governor, legislature, Brady Center, and Giffords Law Center to submit amicus briefs by February 1, 2027 after notices due November 30, 2026.
