FFL
Transfers
We can help you buy a gun from the internet legally.
Here are some Questions & Answers about FFL transfers
to help if you have never bought a gun over the internet
Is
it legal to buy guns over the internet?
Yes. All modern
firearms must by law be transferred from a Federally
Licensed dealer to the buyer via another FFL holder.
That is why shops that sell guns only ship firearms
to a FFL holder for subsequent transfer to their customers.
If you do not have an FFL you can still order online.
First, contact us or another official FFL holder and
get our permission to have a gun shipped from the shop
you are buying from. Usually you are the billing contact
and we are the shipping address. Next, we will send
a signed in ink copy of our FFL to the shop from which
you plan to buy. Then the gun will ship the firearm
to us and you can buy the gun from us meeting all local,
state, and federal laws.
Will
Horns Custom Rifles Tucson Guns do a gun transfer for me?
Yes,
if you wish to order a gun from somewhere else and have
it sent to us so you can pick it up here, the fee is
$35.00, payable in advance. If we receive a gun to transfer
to you, and you are a prohibited from owning it, you
will be responsible for shipping back to the place you
bought it.
Why
is the signed FFL copy required to be sent to the seller
before an Internet or mail order purchase can be shipped?
Possession of the FFL copy
bearing an original ink signature is required legally
to ensure that the destination of the firearm is the
same as the shipping address on the license. This prevents
fraud and the unlawful delivery of firearms to underage
or prohibitive persons. All FFLs must be current and
we check each against the BATF’s on-line database
of current and valid FFLs.
What is a FFL?
FFL is the abbreviation for
a Federal Firearm License, a U.S. Government issued
license required by individuals or companies in the
business of selling firearms. FFL holders can also provide
the service of “transferring” firearms to
individuals who buy the firearm elsewhere and had it
shipped to a local FFL holder meeting all local, state,
and federal laws.
Where can I find a FFL
to do the transfer for my online firearm purchase?
We assume that's why you are
reading this page. We can provide FFL transfers from
our shop. In addition most of your local gun & pawn
shops have a FFL license and will perform the transfer
for a small fee. Also, any individual holding a FFL
license can do the transfer for you. Doing transfers
is an easy way for your local FFL to generate cash flow
without carrying inventory. You can also locate FFL
transfer Dealers in your area by clicking
here for a list of FFL holders in AZ.
Can I provide background
check information over the phone before I pick up my
firearm?
No. By law, the required paperwork
(ATF yellow sheet) is to be filled out in the presence
of a Horns Custom Rifles. designated employee. The background
check will be initiated with the FBI NICS at the time
the yellow sheet is filled out.
How old do I have to be
to purchase a firearm?
In Arizona, the legal age is
18 yrs. for shotgun and rifles and 21 yrs. for handguns.
Of coarse, each state has it's own age and eligibility
requirements for firearms purchases. It is YOU the BUYER’s
responsibility to know your local and state laws. Check
with your local police department, gun store or FFL
holder before making any firearm purchase.
Are all guns legal to own or purchase in my state?
Check with your local police
department, FFL holder or gun shop for state and local
requirements for firearm purchase eligibility. Some
states have additional laws that apply only to them
do your own research, ignorance of the law is no excuse
in court.
