As of 3/17 we are temporarily no longer accepting ANY transfers in.
Meaning, if you purchased a gun online you will not be able to come in for an FFL transfer with us. Our apologies for the inconvenience, we will update if anything changes.
Buying a gun online, or from someone who lives in another state?
Then you will need to have it FFL transferred in order to take it home. But what is a FFL dealer transfer? FFL stands for Federal Firearms Licensee, so simply put a FFL transfer is the change in possession of a firearm from one FFL to another FFL. Since the Gun Control Act of 1968 all firearms that are sold interstate (across state lines) must be transferred using a Federal Firearms Licensee.
Let us make the process simple and easy for you 👌
