STATE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION

“(a) The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of
themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be
infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by
law. (b) There shall be a mandatory period of three days, excluding
weekends and legal holidays, between the purchase and delivery at
retail of any handgun. For the purposes of this section, “purchase”
means the transfer of money or other valuable consideration to the
retailer, and “handgun” means a firearm capable of being carried and
used by one hand, such as a pistol or revolver. Holders of a concealed
weapon permit as prescribed in Florida law shall not be subject to the
provisions of this paragraph. (c) . . . anyone violating the
provisions of subsection (b) shall be guilty of a felony. (d) This
restriction shall not apply to a trade in of another handgun.” Article
1, Section 8.

The legislature of the State of Florida, in a declaration of policy
incorporated in its “Weapons and Firearms” statute, recognizes that
adult citizens of the state retain their constitutional right to keep
and bear firearms for hunting and sporting activities and for defense
of self, family, home, and business and as collectibles.

Article 1, Section 8.

Just a question, what is this "mandatory period of three days" for, in
the 4th line above, section (b)?
