In Florida it is illegal to buy handgun ammo if you are under the age of 21. HOWEVER if the ammo is for a rifle (9mm carbine for example) it is legal to buy but most stores aren't going to sell it to you. So basically if you "get caught" buying handgun ammo, you need to have a rifle (16"+ barell/26"+ overall length) that shoots that particular ammo.

As for private seller, I'm not sure. Best to just have someone get it for you in bulk until you find the specific law or precedent saying it's ok for you to buy it from a private seller.

Hope this answers your question.
