Frequently asked questions

You pay for the firearm here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Utah at checkout, and we ship the gun to that dealer. You pick it up there after completing ATF Form 4473 and the background check.

Utah has no permit to purchase, no firearm registration and no state waiting period. At a licensed dealer you show photo identification, complete ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs a background check. Utah is a point-of-contact state, so the check goes to the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, which searches state criminal history and juvenile court records along with the federal databases; a Utah concealed firearm permit does not take its place. Federal law sets the dealer minimum at 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Private sales between Utah residents need no state check, but selling to a prohibited person is a crime.

Your dealer does at pickup, through the FBI’s NICS system or the state’s own system where the state runs its own check. Most checks come back in minutes.

Usually one visit. You fill out Form 4473 at the counter, the dealer runs the check, and you walk out with the gun if it clears and no state waiting period applies. If the check is delayed, the dealer holds the firearm until it is resolved.

A valid government photo ID with your current address, any permit or ID card your state requires, and the transfer fee. If your driver’s license still shows an old address, bring a supporting document the dealer accepts.

Each dealer sets their own transfer fee, commonly $20–$75. Call the dealer before ordering to confirm they accept shipped transfers and ask their fee.

Since May 5, 2021, an adult 21 or older who may lawfully possess a firearm can carry it in Utah, loaded, concealed or openly, with no permit. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification still issues the concealed firearm permit statewide, and a county sheriff does not. The permit runs five years and needs a course from a BCI-certified instructor covering Utah law and safe handling, with no live-fire test. Residents aged 18 to 20 can apply for a provisional permit. Secure airport areas, courthouses, jails, federal buildings and posted private property stay off-limits. See our Utah gun law overview.

No. Federal law requires firearms to go to a licensed dealer. Ammunition, magazines and accessories can ship to your home where state law allows.

21 or older for handguns and handgun ammunition, 18 or older for rifles, shotguns and their ammunition, under federal rules for licensed dealers. Some states set a higher age for certain purchases.

A flat $29.99 per order, and free on orders over $999.

Yes. Firearms go to your dealer, so the address that matters is theirs. Ammunition and gear ship to the door anywhere the carrier delivers and the law allows; a few remote addresses are served by a pickup point instead, and we will contact you if yours is one.

Most orders ship within 1–3 business days of payment (and, for firearms, once we have the dealer license). Ammunition travels by ground only, so it takes longer than the rest of your order.

Credit and debit cards on our secure checkout page.

Yes — price and availability are checked again when you place the order. If anything changed, you see it before you pay.

Some items ship from partner distributors instead of our main warehouse. Those usually ship within 1–3 weeks, and we email you if yours will take longer. If we can’t ship an item within 30 days, you get a full refund.

Yes. Used firearms are marked with their condition (like new, very good, good and so on) on the listing.

No. NFA items need ATF Form 4 approval, which we don’t handle, so they aren’t listed.

Before it’s transferred to you, yes — contact us and tell your dealer not to transfer it. Once transferred, firearms can’t be returned for refund, but manufacturer warranties apply. See the returns policy for details.

Use the contact form. We usually reply within one business day.
