As a federally licensed firearms dealer, we are subject to specific regulations that affect how we collect, use, and retain your personal information:
Federal law requires us to collect extensive personal information on ATF Form 4473 for all firearms transfers, including:
This form is retained for a minimum of 20 years as required by federal regulations (27 CFR 478.129).
For suppressors and other NFA items, additional documentation and information is required:
NFA registration records are maintained indefinitely by the ATF and must be retained by the dealer as long as the item is in inventory.
We maintain a bound book recording the acquisition and disposition of all firearms, including purchaser information. This record must be retained for as long as we hold our FFL and surrendered to the ATF if we cease doing business.
Federal law requires us to report to the ATF and local law enforcement when an individual purchases multiple handguns within a five-day period.
Depending on your state of residence, additional information collection and reporting may be required, including state registration requirements, waiting period documentation, and permits or licenses.
We implement comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information, including:
We comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) for handling credit card information. Full payment card numbers are processed by our PCI-compliant payment processors and are not stored on our servers.
While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods include:
Please note that due to federal firearms regulations, we may be unable to delete certain information even upon request. We will inform you of any such limitations when you submit a deletion request.

You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information. Note that certain information on completed ATF forms cannot be modified after submission.
You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. Due to federal firearms regulations, we cannot delete ATF Form 4473 records, bound book entries, NFA registration records, or other federally-mandated records during the required retention periods.
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances.
You may object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes or when processing is based on our legitimate interests.
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our emails, updating your communication preferences in your account settings, or contacting us directly.
