***We are not currently accepting transfers. Please contact us to order your firearm directly from Loomis Firearms. Unauthorized transfers will incur an additional $50 fee.***

If you’re buying a gun online or from another person (locally), you’ll need the services of a federally licensed firearms dealer with a current FFL (Federal Firearms License). An FFL dealer, like Loomis Firearms LLC, is the only entity who can legally receive a firearm and facilitate the transfer to you. 

Before starting the process, please contact us. We can order most new firearms direct and save you money. There are never any transfer fees or shipping charges when you order directly from Loomis Firearms. 

Transfer Fees and Process

When you purchase a firearm online that Loomis Firearms is not able to order direct:

  1. Contact us before placing your order to confirm we will be available to receive your transfer (we close for vacations and holidays).
  2. Provide us your contact information and order details.
  3. Provide us the email address of the retailer if we need to send them a copy of our FFL (many shops already have it on file).
  4. Once your firearm arrives, we will contact you to setup an appointment. Click here for our hours.
  5. At the time of your appointment, please park in front of the shop (large bay doors). Please be sure to have your unexpired driver’s license, ID, or CHL with current address.
