What is an 'FFL'?

An 'FFL' is a federal firearms license. It is a license that is required for anyone or any business dealing in the purchasing or selling of firearms.

How do I sell my gun?

Federal, state and local firearm laws are very complex. To legally protect yourself, allow the experts at Carolina Sporting Arms to assist you in your gun sale. You can sell your gun directly to us, and we will handle the gun sale to a new owner. Or, if you already have a buyer for your firearm, contact us and we can transfer it out of your name and hold it for the new owner, or transfer it to another 'FFL' holder in another state.

I live in another state. Can I buy guns here?

Yes, you can purchase your gun from any dealer. However, handguns purchased out-of-state must be transferred to your local 'FFL' dealer for your pick up. Residents of some states may be able to purchase long guns (rifles or shotguns) at dealers in other states without a specific transfer of ownership. Handguns can only be picked up at a dealer in your home state. Click here to find your state's gun laws.
