Southeast Gun Buyers

Southeast Gun Buyers started as Chiquita Guns in Cape Coral, became Guns on 41 in Fort Myers, and evolved into a specialized firearms acquisition and estate service. Today they operate dual offices in Fort Myers, Florida and Winston-Salem, North Carolina—serving the entire Southeastern US with the ability to travel anywhere in the region for inspections and acquisitions.

"Firearms are more than possessions—they are responsibilities, legacies, and often deeply personal parts of a family's story."

Unlike traditional gun dealers, Southeast Gun Buyers focuses on life transitions: seniors downsizing, widows settling estates, heirs managing inherited collections, assisted living facilities securing resident firearms, and professionals—attorneys and financial planners—needing licensed, compliant expertise.

With 17+ years operating through major market shifts—the 2012–13 handgun and "assault weapon" surge, the 2013–15 ammunition shortages, and the post-2016 industry downturn—they've guided thousands on:

• •Concealed carry reciprocity across states
• •Red-flag laws and evolving state restrictions
• •Interstate travel and ownership rules
• •Federal ATF regulations and state-specific requirements
• •Possession, transfers, shipping, carrying, buying, and selling

They stay current on both federal regulations and state-by-state changes, especially as clients relocate from or spend winters in different jurisdictions.

Modern Firearms & Accessories: They acknowledge the market has been commoditized by online retailers and the "Amazon effect"—new firearms, ammunition, and accessories are best sourced through competitive online channels. They encourage clients to take advantage of these resources.

Classic & Collectible Firearms: This is where they add real value. They sell dozens of diverse classic and collectible firearms monthly through online auctions, giving them real-time insight into market trends and true values. Past market inefficiencies—inflated prices at gun shows and small shops—have been replaced by transparent, data-driven valuations.
