Looking for No B.S. Transfers?

We are happy to facilitate the transfer of firearms to our customers. There are two main kinds of transfers we assist our customers with. The charge for either is a simple $25 plus the TICS (Tennessee Instant Check Service) charge per transfer. The types are as follows:

1.       The first is a transfer between two local individuals. This IS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW in this state but is simply a service we offer to our customers who wish to simply make sure that the firearm is not involved in a theft or worse from years ago. This is where a local person is selling a firearm to another (usually previously unknown to each other) and both parties want to ensure the transaction is conducted with a legal paper trail. This protects both parties involved. It protects the seller in that it assures that the firearm is transferred out of their name and into the buyers name to avoid potential future problems should the firearm be stolen and/or used in a crime. It protects the buyer in that it insures that the firearm is clean and not subject to be an item of interest in a past criminal investigation.  To do this type of transfer, both parties must come into the store. The seller / owner will bring the gun in to be transferred and their identification. We will receive it from them and log it into our books and give them a receipt showing it has been removed from their name. The buyer / receiver will usually come in at the same time as the seller or can come at a later time. The buyer will fill out the federal firearm purchase form (ATF form 4473) and present current identification. We will verify the background check and, upon successful completion, transfer the firearm to the new owner.

2.       The second kind of transfer is a long distance transfer. This occurs when a seller is either too far away to bring the item in person or is a resident of another state. This is common when someone purchases a gun thru an auction service, from a distant gun store or receives a firearm from an out of state relative or private seller.

All firearms shipped to us MUST come with proper documentation from the seller/shipper. If an individual is the seller/shipper then they MUST supply a LEGIBLE copy of their current drivers license complete with a GOOD, CLEAR, easily viewable, PHOTOGRAPH.  If the seller/shipper is a licensed firearm dealer we must have a copy of the seller/shippers valid FFL. A Shipping Dealer MUST enclose an ink signed copy of their FFL along with invoice or packing slip indicating purchaser name and firearm details including serial number with the gun.  If any of these items are missing from the shipment we will be forced to hold the firearm until such items which are required by law are supplied. We will also be forced to add a $20.00 charge to help defray the cost of time and phone charges we will incur in trying to get your seller to provide the information required by law.

Before we can receive a firearm from another dealer, we must send that dealer a copy of our FFL so that the dealer can complete their federally required paperwork. To do that the buyer needs to fill out a Firearm Transfer Form and return it to us. This form can be dropped off at the store or faxed to us at the number on the form.
