FFL Questions

An “FFL” us a Federal Firearm License that enables an individual or a company to engage in a business pertaining to the manufacture or importation of firearms and ammunition.  FFL holders are commonly gun stores, pawn shops, and retail sporting goods stores.  There are also individuals that may hold an FFL.  All firearms sold to individuals online must be shipped to one of these locations who will then transfer the firearm to the individual. 

 Simply stated, if your purchase is a firearm (except for muzzle-loaders), an FFL transfer is required by law. For more information, view this document from the ATF.
