What do I need to bring to purchase a firearm?

When purchasing a firearm at Summerlin Armory, you’ll need to bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or state ID, that confirms you are at least 18 years old for long guns or 21 for handguns. You must also be a Nevada resident to buy handguns, though long gun purchases may be allowed for out-of-state buyers. Be prepared to undergo a federal background check, which we’ll conduct at the store. Depending on the type of firearm or accessories, additional documentation, like a concealed carry permit or proof of military or law enforcement status, may be required. For non-citizens, certain legal documents are necessary. Always verify current state and federal laws before making a purchase.  

What happens if I fail the background check?

If you fail the background check at Summerlin Armory, the sale of the firearm cannot be completed. The FBI conducts these background checks, and if any disqualifying information arises, you will be notified of the denial. We encourage you to review the reasons for the denial, as they may include issues such as felony convictions, mental health adjudications, or restraining orders. You will receive instructions on how to appeal the decision through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) if you believe the denial is incorrect. It’s essential to understand that this process can take time, and we recommend checking your eligibility before attempting to purchase a firearm to avoid potential issues during the background check.  

How do I know which firearm is right for me?

At Summerlin Armory, selecting the right firearm depends on your specific needs, experience level, and intended use. If you're a first-time buyer, we recommend considering factors such as comfort, purpose (self-defense, hunting, target shooting), and ease of use. For home defense, handguns or shotguns are common choices, while rifles are popular for hunting and long-range shooting. Our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you through the options, helping you understand the differences between various models, calibers, and features. We encourage you to handle different firearms in-store to get a feel for what fits best in your hand. Additionally, we offer firearm safety courses to help you gain confidence in your selection. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.

How do I maintain and clean my firearm?

Maintaining and cleaning your firearm is crucial for its longevity and safe operation. At Summerlin Armory, we recommend cleaning your firearm after each use, especially if you’ve fired many rounds or used it in harsh conditions. Begin by unloading the firearm and disassembling it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a quality cleaning kit with solvent, brushes, and patches to remove carbon build-up from the barrel, chamber, and action. After cleaning, apply a light coat of gun oil to protect against rust and ensure smooth operation. Regularly inspect for wear, especially on moving parts. If you’re unsure or need assistance, our gunsmiths are available for professional cleaning and maintenance services to keep your firearm in top shape.  

Can I purchase a firearm as a gift for someone else?

At Summerlin Armory, purchasing a firearm as a gift for someone else involves strict legal considerations. You cannot directly buy a firearm for another person unless they are present and meet all legal requirements, including passing the background check themselves. This ensures that the transfer is legal and complies with federal laws against straw purchases. Instead, a recommended option is to purchase a gift card, allowing the recipient to choose their own firearm and complete the necessary paperwork and background check. Keep in mind that firearm transfers between private individuals may require processing through a licensed dealer. Always verify local and federal laws before attempting to purchase a firearm as a gift to ensure compliance and a smooth transaction.
