Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  How do I know what online vendors have a copy of your Federal Firearms License (FFL)?

A:  The FFL List - Online Sites has a list of all the online vendors who have a copy of my FFL on file.

Q:  What do I do if the site I want to order from is not listed on your FFL List - Online Sites page?

A:  Give me a call or email me, and I will send out a copy of my FFL to them as soon as possible.

Q:  What if I want to purchase a firearm from an online posting or firearm auction?

A:  Contact me for a signed copy of my FFL that you can mail out along with your payment.  The person posting or selling the firearm will then ship the firearm to me and I can transfer it to you.

Q:  How much do you charge for firearm transfers?

A:  My standard fee is $20 for both rifles and pistols.

Q:  What do I need to bring when I come to collect my firearm?

A:  If you have purchased a pistol, you will need to bring a valid Iowa Permit to Acquire Handguns.  This can be obtained by visiting your local Sheriff's Office and waiting for 3 days while they run a background check.  A Concealed Weapons Permit will also be sufficient for purchasing pistols.  If you are buying or transferring a rifle, a permit is not required.  I will have to call into the FBI, but you may have up to a 3 day waiting period.  You can also use your Pistol Permit to purchase rifles without the risk of a waiting period.
