Anyone who is legally allowed to own an item, is allowed to sell it here.

The following information is not intended to be a complete guide to all applicable laws.

It is the seller’s responsibility to be in compliance with all Federal, state, and local laws when using this site.

Your local Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer is the expert on firearms laws in your area.

First and foremost it is illegal for an individual to ship a firearm to an individual who is not a FFL dealer.

You can ship a firearm to a FFL dealer providing you have a signed copy of the FFL dealer’s license.

Legal methods of sending a copy of the FFL dealer license include photocopy sent via mail, facsimile or e-mail scanned copies.

You do not have to be a FFL dealer to sell a firearm.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to make arrangements with a FFL dealer in their area to receive the firearm and then transfer the gun to them.

FFL dealers include gun shops, pawn shops or gunsmiths who sell or distribute firearms.

In some cases the receiving FFL dealer will only accept firearm transfers from another FFL dealer.

What does legally allowed to own a gun mean?

The buyer must be an adult who is able to enter into a contract.

Some items, such as air guns, knives, ammunition, antique guns that were built in 1898 or earlier, and some gun parts, do not require a dealer license to purchase. There are age restrictions and laws regulating the sale of many of these items, and it is in the seller’s best interest to check the laws and verify the age of the buyer before shipping the item. You must be 18 years old to sell items on this site.

You must be at least 21 years old to sell ammunition.

If you have any questions or doubts about selling an item to an individual, please contact your local FFL dealer, or research the item on the above mentioned web sites.
