Arrange a transfer through a CT FFL to a FL FFL. No CT permit is required to receive a firearm transferred from CT out of state. The recipient must fill out a 4473 at the FL dealer and pay a transfer fee, but no other special paperwork is required for a Title 1 firearm.

To put that in simple non legalese terms. Have whoever is in possession of the guns in CT go to a local CT gunshop and have them ship them to a dealer in FL.

While shipping from a dealer is not a legal requirement, it will make things simpler for someone whos not up on all the necessary laws.

Someone could also drive them down to FL if they are making a trip. Its perfectly legal.
