Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) Gun Dealer

Working with an FFL gun dealer, or facilitator like us, is one of the simplest ways to buy or sell a gun. People who want to purchase a firearm from out of state also need to go through a facilitator.

FFL Representation for Buyers

When we represent the buyer, we provide an application for the background check and NICS, which will then generate an approval number. We give you a receipt, which you then take to the seller, making you eligible to purchase the firearm. The application must be done between the buyer and the FFL face-to-face.

Out-of-State FFL Purchases

You need FFL representation as a buyer. In order to legally transfer firearms, we receive the weapon from the sellers FFL and conduct the NICS check before transferring custody to you.

Out-of-State FFL Sales

For out-of-state firearm sales, we facilitate the transaction between the owner and the out-of-state FFL representing the buyer. The weapon would then be sent through us to the other FFL.

Estate Handling

When someone dies and leaves a weapon to a beneficiary, the sheriff's department will usually take custody of the weapon first, holding it until the intended recipient is able to take possession. It's not uncommon for the weapon to be accidentally destroyed or lost while in custody.

Estate FFL Services

If you have been willed a firearm, we check whether you're cleared to take possession. If you aren't, we can hold it for you and transfer it to you at a later date or facilitate its sale. Your firearm will be placed in a secure facility, we will provide you with a written receipt, and a copy of the receipt will be stored on-site.

Storage and Sales Fees

We charge an annual fee for weapons storage. There is also a transaction fee for facilitating a weapon sale.
