SHIPPING A FIREARM - FFL's AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
BudsPoliceSupply.Com will transfer ownership of any firearm ONLY to individuals or agencies in possession of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL).
This means we cannot ship directly to you (unless you have an FFL).

At your request
BudsPoliceSupply.Com will transfer your purchased firearm to a licensed gun dealer in your state.
- It is your responsibility to complete all required paperwork when you pick up your purchase from your local dealer.
- It is your responsibility to contact the FFL dealer.
- Be aware that it is customary for your local dealer to charge a transaction fee at the time you pick up your purchase.
This transfer fee is strictly between you and your local dealer. It is your responsibility to check with your local dealer concerning
any policy of this kind and concerning your obligations. You do not pay BudsPoliceSupply.com the transfer fee. By purchasing a firearm
