Firearm Purchasing Guidelines

 

1. Legal Compliance Comes First

All firearm sales are governed by federal law and applicable state regulations. Our goal is to ensure that every transaction is completed legally, responsibly, and transparently.

  • Firearms may only be transferred to eligible buyers

  • Background checks are required where applicable

  • All transfers are completed through licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealers

Regulations may vary by state and are subject to change. Buyers are responsible for understanding and complying with their local laws prior to purchase.


2. Online Firearm Purchasing Process

Purchasing a firearm online involves several required steps to ensure legal compliance:

  1. Place Your Order Online
    Browse available inventory and place your order through our secure online store.

  2. Select a Local FFL Dealer
    During checkout, you will choose a licensed FFL dealer near you where the firearm will be shipped.

  3. FFL Transfer & Background Check
    Once the firearm arrives at the FFL dealer, you will complete the required background check and paperwork before taking possession.

  4. Final Pickup
    After approval, the firearm may be legally transferred to you by the FFL dealer.


3. Federal Firearms License (FFL) Transfers

Federal law requires that firearms purchased online be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. This ensures:

  • Proper identity verification

  • Completion of required background checks

  • Compliance with all federal and state regulations

Buyers should contact their selected FFL dealer in advance to confirm transfer fees and local requirements.


4. Buyer Eligibility Requirements

To legally purchase a firearm, buyers must meet all eligibility requirements, including but not limited to:

  • Meeting minimum age requirements

  • Passing required background checks

  • Being legally permitted to own firearms under federal and state law

Certain restrictions may apply depending on firearm type and buyer location.


5. State & Local Law Considerations

Firearm laws vary by state and locality. Some states impose additional restrictions on:

  • Firearm types

  • Magazine capacity

  • Waiting periods

  • Transfer procedures

It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify that the selected firearm is legal in their state or municipality before placing an order.


6. Shipping & Transfers

  • Firearms are shipped only to licensed FFL dealers

  • Shipping times may vary depending on availability and transfer processing

  • Transfer fees are set by the receiving FFL dealer and are paid directly to them

We do not ship firearms directly to residential addresses.


7. Educational & Safety Commitment

We believe responsible firearm ownership begins with education. Buyers are encouraged to:

  • Review firearm safety practices

Firearm ownership carries significant responsibility, and safety should always be the top priority.
