Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I gift a gun to a friend in another state?

Certain states, like California, require all gun transfers to go through a Federally Licensed Firearm gun store. Federal gun laws offer broad coverage or regulation, while state laws can be much more restrictive.

Can you get in trouble if someone else uses your gun?

If the gun was used without your permission, nothing. If you loaned or sold it to a ``prohibited person, you could be held civilly liable, maybe criminally liable. If you conspired with the person in a crime, you could get the same treatment they are going to get when caught.

Can you carry a gun that is not in your name?

It depends. If your state has gun registration (most states dont), you might get some questions about how you came to be in possession of the gun and, depending on your answers, you might be arrested. There is no federal gun registration.
