Common questions about firearms websites

Does my gun shop website need to show my FFL?

While the ATF does not specifically mandate website display, your FFL number is public information and displaying it demonstrates legitimacy. Many payment processors and shipping carriers require FFL verification for firearms businesses.

Can I sell firearms on my website?

Online firearms sales must comply with federal law requiring transfers through a licensed FFL dealer. Your website must clearly communicate that all sales require a background check through NICS and a licensed dealer transfer.

What age restrictions should my firearms website display?

Federal law prohibits selling handguns to anyone under 21 and long guns to anyone under 18. Your website should clearly state age requirements and any additional state restrictions that apply in your jurisdiction.
