if you purchase a firearm from a dealer or individual outside of your state of residence, federal law requires that the firearm be shipped to a licensed dealer (FFL) in your state who can legally transfer the firearm to you. We will perform all required BATF-mandated background checks, including residency and proof-of-age verification.

We provide complete Firearm Transfer Services for $25.00.

Selecting a Firearm Transfer Agent Near You

To purchase a handgun, you must be a resident and citizen of one of the 50 United States and at least 21 years of age. You must not have any of the following:

• A history of felony charges, indictment, or conviction
• Recreational drug or controlled substance use, including marijuana
• A dishonorable military discharge
• An active restraining order for domestic violence
• Alien status (undocumented or non-immigrant visa)
• Any history of commitment to a mental institution

If any of these conditions apply, the transfer agent will refuse to release the firearm to you, and it will be returned to us at your expense.

Regardless of your state of residence, federal law requires the firearm to be registered in your name at the time of transfer. You will be required to complete Federal Form 4473 and submit to a NICS background check. Some states impose a mandatory waiting period after passing the background check before you may take possession of the firearm.

You may not purchase a firearm on behalf of another individual (commonly known as a straw purchase). Please ensure you have obtained any required state licenses or permits before initiating the purchase, as some approvals can take significant time.

Purchasing a handgun for home use is not the same as obtaining a Concealed Carry Permit (CCP). Without a CCP, you may not carry the handgun outside your home, except when transporting it in your vehicle directly to or from a shooting range or gunsmith.

Finding an FFL Dealer Near You

To locate a licensed firearms dealer (FFL) in your state for firearm transfers, download the list here. The file is provided in Excel format and can be sorted by ZIP code, city, or dealer name. This list is supplied by the U.S. Bureau of ATF&E and is typically updated annually. It may include dealers who are no longer in business or exclude newly licensed dealers.

If you do not have Excel software, you may download the same file in PDF format here. While it cannot be sorted, it is organized by state.

Both lists contain identical information, including dealer names, addresses, and phone numbers. Please note that not all licensed dealers offer third-party transfer services. This is normal. Always call the dealer first to confirm they are willing to receive your firearm. They must email us a copy of their FFL certificate before we can ship the firearm to them.

Transfer Fees

The typical firearm transfer fee is approximately $25, payable directly to the receiving dealer. However, some dealers may charge more, especially if they feel they lost a retail sale due to an online purchase. Transfer fees are not regulated and may vary.

We recommend discussing the fee upfront or choosing another FFL dealer if the charge is excessive. Many dealers offer additional services such as firearm training, ammunition sales, or accessories, which may make you a valued long-term customer and encourage a more reasonable transfer fee.

If you experience any difficulty downloading the files (they are large and should not be downloaded on a cellphone), please call us between 12:00 PM and 9:00 PM CT at (936) 369-4361, and we will be happy to assist you.

We offer FFL shipping service and will coordinate shipping to another licensed receiver, and can deliver the firearm to a proper transport service company. We do this for our normal $25 fee plus the cost of shipping, insurance, and handling.

To have a firearm transferred to you, for shipping firearms, or for more information on this service, please call us at 936-369-4361.

Purchasing From Us:

BUYING ONLINE?

Selecting a firearm transfer agent near you:

You must be a resident and citizen of the 50 states of the USA, and at least 21 years of age, to purchase a handgun.  You cannot have a history of felony charges:  indictment or conviction, recreational drug or controlled substance use including marijuana, a dishonorable military discharge, a restraining order for domestic violence, alien status: undocumented or non-immigrant visa, or any history of mental institution commitment.  IF ANY of these situations exist, the transfer agent will refuse to give the gun to you, and it will be returned to us at your cost.  Regardless of what state you live in, the gun will be registered in your name at the time of transfer by federal law.  You will be required to fill out the Federal form 4473, and submit to a “NICS” background check.  Some states require a waiting period after the time of passing the check prior to when you may take possession.  You may NOT purchase the firearm on behalf of someone else (Straw Purchase).  Be sure that you have the proper state license to own/purchase a firearm ahead of time that your state may require.  Some of these take a long time to apply for and receive.

Purchasing a handgun for home use is not the same as getting a Concealed Carry Permit.  If you do not currently have a CCP, you may NOT carry the handgun outside your home, except in your car en route to/from a practice range or gunsmith.

To find the FFL (licensed firearms dealer) nearest you in your state for firearms transfers, download the list   here.  It is in Excel format and can be downloaded to arrange best for your use:  by zip code, city, or name.  The list is from the US Bureau of ATF&E, and is typically one year old.  It may contain some Dealers who are no longer in business or have moved, and may not contain newer licensees.  This list will be updated annually as released by the ATF.

If you do not have Excel software, download the file in PDF (Adobe)   here.  It will not be able to be arranged to your convenience, but is listed by state.

Both lists contain the same data.  They contain the addresses and phone numbers of licensed firearm dealers.  Note that not all dealers are interested in being a third-party transfer agent, and may not agree to act in that capacity.  This is normal.  Please call them before you have anything shipped to them, to make sure it’s OK.  They will then need to send a copy (by email) of their FFL certificate to us before we can send the firearm to them for transfer to you.

Typically the fee for transferring a firearm is around $25 payable to them.  However, some agents feel that they lost a good sale on this (internet sale) transfer, and may charge you more than that to make up for their loss of profit.  There is no standard fee.  Be sure to deal your best deal with them, or move on to another FFL agent on the list convenient to you.  There’s no reason you need to be taken over a barrel on this fee.  It is likely that the agent’s establishment may also teach handgun lessons, stock ammo for sale, or have other amenities which would make you a good customer of theirs in the future.  If that is the case, they should be willing to lower their fee.

If you have any difficulty downloading the files (they are large) to your computer (don’t use your cellphone), call us from noon to 9PM CT and we will help you out.  (936-369-4361).

If you’re wondering how the process of buying a gun online works, (rifle, shotgun, or handgun) it’s really pretty simple. Once Psalm 18:32 Gun Works receives your firearm shipment, we will contact you to pick it up. If done correctly, it is fast and painless. You will pay us $25.00 for the transfer, and the FBI must approve your form 4473 personal information.

Pickup must be only by the purchaser who signed the required BATFE form 4473.
