What Is an FFL Transfer?

An **FFL** -- **Federal Firearms Licensee** -- is a business or individual licensed by the federal government to deal in firearms. Your local gun shop is almost certainly an FFL. So is the online retailer you're buying from.

What ID and Documents You'll Need?

Show up to the transfer with the right stuff and you'll be in and out in 20 minutes. Show up without it and you're making a second trip.

How Long Does the Whole Thing Take?

From the time you click "buy" to the time you walk out with the gun, here's a realistic timeline per The Gun Dock:
