No, it's nothing like a drug deal; it's perfectly legal. If a cop rolled up on you selling me a nick bag of weed in a liquor store parking lot in Florida, you'd be arrested, charged, and probably wind up with probation and a hefty fine. If a cop rolled up on you selling me a fucking Uzi in a liquor store parking lot in Florida, he wouldn't be able to say a thing, because there is absolutely no regulation on private firearm deals in that state - you can buy, sell, and trade anything you want as long as it's not an illegal weapon. Same thing in Arizona, Alaska, Vermont, and probably a couple of other states I don't know of.
Combine that with the "stand your ground" laws they have down there that enable anybody with a gun (which is over 2 million people in Florida) to shoot someone in the face if they even look at them sideways with no legal repercussions, and people wonder why Florida is such a fucking cesspool. Why every time you turn on the news down there someone is getting shot over a parking spot, or a road rage incident, or someone's running up in a gas station with an AK-47... and it's not like in the Northeast where that kind of shit is relegated to the worst ghetto neighborhoods because of stricter gun control laws - that shit goes on in Hallandale, Boca Raton, all over the place.
