Buying a Gun in Pennsylvania.

A valid Pennsylvania driver's license or PA ID showing your current address, and you must be a non-prohibited person. Long guns require you to be 18+; handguns and stripped receivers require 21+. We'll run a PA Instant Check System (PICS) background check at the counter. Most approvals come back in just a few minutes.

No. Pennsylvania has no state-imposed waiting period. As long as the PICS check is approved, you can take your firearm home the same day.

No purchase permit is required in PA. A License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) is only needed to carry a concealed handgun or to transport a handgun in a vehicle.

LTCFs are issued by your county sheriff. In Westmoreland County, apply at the Sheriff's Office in Greensburg. The fee is $20 for a five-year license, you must be 21+, and there is no state training requirement. The sheriff has up to 45 days to process your application.

All handgun transfers between non-relatives in PA must go through a licensed dealer or county sheriff. We can handle that for you. Long-gun transfers between PA residents do not currently require a check, though laws can change.

If you bought a firearm online, the seller ships it to us. When it arrives we'll call you, you come in to fill out ATF Form 4473, we run the PICS background check, you pay our $25 transfer fee, and you take it home. See our FFL Transfers page for details.

Yes. Bring your firearm in and we'll discuss a fair market price, display it in the shop, handle the legal transfer and pay you when it sells. It's a great option if you don't want to deal with private buyers.

Per industry standard and federal law considerations, all firearm sales are final once transferred. Defects are handled directly through the manufacturer's warranty.

Federal law (BATFE) currently treats any user of marijuana, including state-legal medical cannabis, as a prohibited person under 18 USC § 922(g)(3). This applies to all firearm purchases through any FFL.
