FFL Transfer FAQ
What is an FFL transfer?+
Federal law requires that firearms purchased online or from out-of-state sellers be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer near you. The FFL dealer receives the firearm, verifies your identity, runs a background check, and transfers the firearm to you legally. Crum & Co. Outdoors is Franklin County's only FFL storefront.
What ID do I need to bring?+
You'll need a valid government-issued photo ID. Florida residents must present a Florida driver's license or state ID. Out-of-state residents should contact us before arranging a transfer.
How long does the transfer take?+
Most transfers are completed the same day once the firearm arrives and you come in. NICS background checks are typically instant, though some may require additional processing time.
Can I transfer a firearm I purchased from a private seller?+
Yes. Private party transfers of firearms between residents of different states must go through an FFL dealer. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
