1. How do I purchase a firearm online?
DiscountGunDealer.com sells firearms only in accordance with Federal,
State and Local Firearms laws. You must be 18 years or older to purchase
long guns and 21 years or older to purchase hand guns. Verify that the
firearm(s) you want to purchase from DiscountGunDealer.com meets the laws of
your State, County or City.
How to purchase a firearm online:
Purchasing a firearm online is easy. After you order your firearm(s)
online using our secure shopping cart, you need only to provide us with two
things: payment for the item(s) and a copy of a
FFL (Federal Firearms License) from a licensed dealer in your state.
1.) Payment: You select your payment type when you check out using our
secure shopping cart.
2.) FFL (Federal Firearms License): Federal firearms laws prevent the
shipping of firearm(s) from DiscountGunDealer.com directly to you (unless you
are a FFL Dealer). We must ship your firearm(s) directly to an FFL Dealer
near you. The steps to follow are:
- Find a dealer near you that will accept the transfer of
the firearm(s) for you. Most gun shops, sporting goods stores, pawn shops,
gunsmiths and gun clubs or shooting ranges will provide this service for a fee.
If you don't know which dealer to use in your area, we can help you locate one
near you. We have access to a large list of dealers in the
USA
that will gladly handle a transfer for you. Most of dealers charge around $20-40
for a transfer. You should confirm the transfer and fees with your local dealer.
- Next, have the dealer provide us with a copy of their
signed FFL (Federal Firearms License). The dealer may fax us a copy, email us a
copy or mail us a copy (you will be provided with all the information necessary,
to make this happen, in an email from us after you check out using our secure
shopping cart).
Once we receive the Payment and the FFL, the item will be shipped to the
FFL dealer. Your item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail (handguns) or
FedEx Ground (long guns).
The FFL dealer will perform any required background checks and transfer
the firearm to you. Your FFL dealer will be responsible for adhering to any
state or local laws affiliated with firearms transactions. If you are unsure
about firearms regulations in your state, please consult your local FFL dealer.
Example: Some states require a permit to purchase or only allow 1 handgun to be
purchased in a 30 Day period; and some firearms are not legal in some states or
there may be a magazine capacity restriction for your area. Firearms will
not be shipped to any location where they are restricted.

4. How
do you ship and how long will it take for my item to be delivered?
Items usually ship out within one to two business days after receiving
your payment and FFL (if required). You will be sent a tracking number or
delivery/signature confirmation number when your item ships. USPS Priority
Mail is typically 2-3 days. FedEx ground runs 1-4 days depending on your
distance from Minneapolis, MN. If you desire, we can ship an
item using a faster shipping method for an additional charge. Let us know
if you need your purchase quickly and we will let you know how quick the
shipping will be and how much the additional charge will be.

or emailed copy is not readable, we will require a signed copy be mailed to us.
Please, have your dealer include your name, the order number and their phone
