18 for a Long Gun - Rifle or Shotgun & 21 for a Handgun Cooper.

It is now 21 for purchasing both handguns and long guns. However, Florida law does not prohibit minors between ages 18 and 21 from possessing firearms. In addition, the minimum age prohibitions for firearm purchases do not apply to the purchase of a rifle or shotgun by a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or service member.
