We are very adamant that all firearms that come to us are logged into our acquisition and disposition book and are only to be sold to buyers that are eligible to possess a firearm. Gun safety is one of our highest concerns. Read through the following replies to understand why the question “is it legal to buy guns online?” will always be YES with SSL.
Some of the popular questions that are asked when purchasing a firearm online are:
1.Can a gun be sent to my house?
No, all firearms must be sent to a FFL (federal firearms license) dealer.
2.Do I need to have a background check?
Yes, all firearms purchases require a federally mandated background check to be completed at the time the firearm is picked up
3.Can I have the background check done before buying a gun?
No, the background check must be completed at the time the firearm is transferred from SSL Firearms to you.
4.Do I need to have a concealed carry permit?
No, you do not need a carry permit to buy a gun online.
5.Why does the firearm need to be shipped to a FFL?
The Gun Control Act of 1968 outlined new rules for selling and transferring firearms. As a result, it is now federal law to have all firearms shipped to a FFL dealer so the person the firearm is being transferred to can fill out the proper paperwork and complete the required background check
