Selling Your Gun Online: Is That Even Legal?
One question that we get a lot is:
Is it legal to sell your gun on the internet?!?
The short answer: perfectly legal
The long answer:
We’ve done our homework and double checked with the ATF (Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms). Let’s cover two aspects of our gun buyback process that raise the most questions. Our customers’ concerns usually center around shipping the firearm and the transferring of ownership. We’ve included links to official resources like ATF.Gov and UPS’s shipping recommendations so that you can do your own homework.
Shipping your firearm via UPS is completely legal and you do not have to disclose that you are shipping a firearm . The biggest stipulation of shipping your firearm is ensuring that the recipient is properly licensed. Cash My Guns holds an FFL (Federal Firearms License), which means the FBI granted us the ability to buy and sell firearms in the US. The rules are somewhat complex so we won’t cover every scenario. What’s important to understand is that shipping your firearm to an FFL is the way that firearms are intended to be sold.
