FAQWhether you’re looking to purchase your next firearm or just trying to better understand the process, it’s normal to have questions. Below we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common questions we get! By no means is this comprehensive, so if there’s something you need more clarification on you can always shoot us an email or give us a call. Because laws are frequently subject to change, we also cannot be held accountable for any inaccuracies/omissions on this page.?How do I purchase a firearm?Purchasing a gun in California can be a rigorous, daunting process if you’re not familiar with the pre-requisites. Below is what you should know before you decide to purchase a firearm.?1. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a long gun (rifle or shotgun). You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a handgun (pistol or revolver).??2. Prior to purchasing a firearm you will need a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) which is a $25 fee. To obtain one, you can visit us in-store to take the test. The test is 30 questions, and it requires a passing score of 75% or higher. Most people will pass on the first time, as it is a common-sense test, but if you fail, we will ask you to come in the next day (at least 24 hours later) to take it again after studying. The FSC is good for five years.?3. You will need to present valid identification when you come in to purchase. Forms of valid identification include a CA driver’s license, CA real ID, or military ID. Proof of residence is also required. This can be a utility bill, car registration, etc.?4. After filling out all appropriate forms, there is a 10 day waiting period before you may pick up your firearm. If you fail to pick up the firearm within 20 days, all the associated paperwork and 10 day waiting period will have to be redone. There is a $25 state fee for the forms ($19 for DROS, $1 for the Firearms Safety Act, and $5 for Safety and Enforcement).5. Any firearm you purchase from us must be CA legal. Please see the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale for more information. This also applies to magazines, so make sure that the associated magazine of the gun you are purchasing has a maximum capacity of 10 rounds. Long guns under the Assault Rifle (AR) classification are not legally sold in CA.?Firearms purchased online have all the aforementioned requisites. We will transfer ownership of a firearm ONLY to individuals or agencies in possession of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). This means we cannot ship directly to you (unless you have an FFL). Generally, we will need to ship the firearm to an FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer near you. Contact a dealer near you to verify that they will perform an online gun purchase transfer and find out how much the transfer fee will be. Then purchase the firearm online and have the FFL dealer you selected email or fax us a copy of their signed FFL. Please also email us the name/address of the FFL you want it shipped to. We cannot ship until we have received a signed copy of their FFL. Understand that it is the buyer's responsibility to confirm that firearm is legal to own in their place of residence.How do I purchase ammunition?Monday, July 31st, 2019 marked the implementation of new ammo restrictions, so purchasing ammunition in CA has become markedly more difficult.?1. Foremost you will need a valid California ID or driver’s license.2. The state now requires a background check. There are two options for this, a “standard” eligibility check and a “basic” eligibility check. The “standard” check is a $1 fee and should only take a couple minutes. If you have purchased a gun before 2015, you should be fine. On the other hand, if you have not purchased a gun since 2015, you might not pass the “standard” background check and be required to take the “basic” check. The “basic” check is a $19 fee and could take up to 10 days. This eligibility check is required each time you purchase ammunition. There is no limit to the amount of ammunition you may purchase at once.?3. Ammo purchased online cannot be delivered directly to you. It can be sent to a shop, but you must come in-person to pick it up. We are now also required to log and track all ammunition that is purchased/sold, so your patience is appreciated.?Do you do FFL transfers?Yes, we offer FFL transfers. We charge a $200 fee for both handguns and long guns. Please make sure to check that the gun being shipped to us is CA legal, or we cannot release it.A Federal Firearms License (FFL) is a license in the United States that enables an individual or a company to engage in a business pertaining to the manufacture or importation of firearms and ammunition, or the interstate and intrastate sale of firearms. An FFL transfer is required when you are purchasing firearms online, such as from sites like Gunbroker. Buyers cannot have the firearm shipped directly to them (unless they have an FFL), so they ship them to a licensed FFL dealer (like us) where they can then pick them up. You will need to fill out a 4473 form and pass the NICS background check as with any other firearm purchase.?Do you do private party transfers?Yes, we do PPTs (private party transfers). This is a $35 fee ($25 for DROS and applicable forms, and a $10 service fee). The exchange of a firearm through two parties, unilateral of a licensed dealer, is generally considered not legal.?Do you offer gunsmithing?Yes, we are happy to offer gunsmithing. You can find a breakdown of our pricing here. Please note that we are about a month backed up, and we expect to resume regular intake around 10/07/19.?Do you sell hunting tags?Yes, we sell hunting tags. Prices are mandated by the state, so are subject to change. See here prices for 2019/2020. You will need to visit us in-store to purchase a tag. Please bring your driver’s license or old hunting license.?Additionally, as of August 1, 2019, a $5 service fee will be charged for all hunting and fishing licenses paid for with a credit card. There is a $10 minimum charge on credit cards.?Do You Sell ARs (Assault Rifles)?Per strict state regulations, we neither offer consignment on, nor we do we sell AR classified rifles.??My firearm purchase was denied by the DOJ. How do I find out the reason for the denial?There are a lot of reasons why your firearm purchase could have been denied, and we (the dealer) often simply don’t know. This is verbatim from the DOJ’s site: “If your DROS application is denied, you will receive a letter from the DOJ Bureau of Firearms within two weeks. The letter will explain the reason and instructions on how to get a copy of the record that resulted in the denial of your application. There will also be instructions on how to dispute and correct information in your record you believe is wrong”. ................
