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 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 (or $50 for guns we normally stock). 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.
