First is a transfer between two local individuals. This is where local person is selling a firearm to another and both parties want to ensure the transaction is conducted legally. This protects both parties involved. To do this type of transfer, both parties must come into the store. The seller / owner will bring the gun in to be transferred and their identification. We will receive it from them and log it into our books and give them a receipt showing it has been removed from their name. The buyer / receiver will usually come in at the same time as the seller or can come at a later time. The buyer will fill out the federal firearm purchase for and present current identification and, if applicable, permit to purchase. We will verify the background check and, upon successful completion, transfer the firearm to the new owner.
The second kind of transfer is a long distance transfer. This occurs when a selling is too far away to bring the item in person. This is common when someone purchases a gun thru an auction service, from a distant gun store or receives a firearm from an out of state relative.
All firearms shipped to us MUST come from a licensed firearm dealer with a valid FFL. Shipping Dealer MUST enclose an ink signed copy of their FFL along with invoice or packing slip indicating purchaser name and firearm details including serial number with the gun. We DO NOT accept any firearm shipped from an individual without an FFL.
Before we can receive a firearm from another dealer, we must send that dealer a copy of our FFL. To do that the buyer needs to fill out a Firearm Transfer Form and return it to us. This form can be dropped off at the store or faxed to us at the number on the form
