The laws governing the purchase of a shotgun in Florida are stricter
than those in Maryland.

I bought a shotgun in Florida back when we wintered down there after
we found a 4-5 foot rattlesnake coiled up at our front door one day.

Like Maryland, they did a quick telephone background check, rang me up
but I had to wait several days to pick it up and take it home.

Maryland lets you take it home the same day after the quick phone
background check.

Are you sure about that? I've never had to wait for anything other
than the background check and that only takes a few minutes, if that.
Filling out the form takes longer.

According to this, FL has a three day waiting period and some counties go up to five days:

I think they waive that in a long gun if you have a valid hunting
license.

A lot of 'unlesses'.

There is a waiting period of the longer of 3 business days or until background checks clear unless
the purchaser has a concealed carry permit, is trading in a different firearm, the purchase is for a
rifle or shotgun and the purchaser has completed a 16 hour hunter safety class in addition to
holding a hunter safety certification card, or the purchaser is law enforcement or military.
