What is a Firearm Transfer?

A firearm transfer is the process through which a firearm is legally moved from one party to another. This is especially important when buying or receiving a firearm from a private seller or another federally licensed dealer. At Tactics N Arms, we act as a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), handling all the required paperwork and background checks to ensure your transfer is legal and compliant.

How the Firearm Transfer Process Works:

1. Initiate the Transfer:

   • Purchase or Receive a Firearm: If you’ve purchased a firearm from an online seller or another state, provide us with the necessary information, including the seller's details.

   • Gift Transfer: If you’re receiving a firearm as a gift, we’ll handle the paperwork to ensure a legal transfer from the giver to you.

2. Provide Necessary Documentation:

   • Ensure that you have valid ID (usually a driver’s license) and any additional documents required (such as a concealed carry permit or state-specific documents if applicable).

3. Background Check:

   • As required by law, we will conduct a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background check. This is mandatory for all transfers.

   • The transfer process will only be completed once the background check is successfully cleared.

4. Complete the Transfer:

   • Once the background check is passed and the paperwork is completed, you can pick up your firearm from Tactics N Arms. We will ensure you are fully educated on the safe handling and storage of your firearm before you leave.

Important Notes for Firearm Transfers:

• State Regulations: Be sure to check your state’s firearm laws and regulations as some states have additional requirements (e.g., waiting periods, special documentation).

• No Firearm Transfers to Prohibited Persons: We cannot complete a transfer if the buyer fails a background check or is otherwise prohibited from owning a firearm.

• Transfer Time: Transfers typically take 3 business days from date of purchase, depending on the background check results and the specific circumstances of the transfer.

• Transfer to persons: We can only transfer a firearm to the person that has purchased the firearm. If it is a transfer from an online order, the name must match what is on the order slip when shipped.
