HOW TO PURCHASE

Pitbull Firearms Incorporated is glad to have your business and hopes that the purchasing process is as smooth as possible for our consumers.  When purchasing a firearms or other ffl required item, the consumer must contact their FFL dealer for the transfer of the item.  Pitbull Firearms Inc. will purchase the item/firearms and then transfer the item to the desired FFL dealer.  If there are any questions please contact us at 301-418-0028, and any question will be answered.  The following information will assist on answering questions or concerns that may be of interest to the consumer.  We appreciate your business and hope this is detailed enough to maker your purchase pleasant and free of stress.

Anyone who is legally allowed to own an item is allowed to buy or sell it here. The following information is not intended to be a complete guide to all applicable laws. It is your responsibility to be in compliance with all Federal, state, and local laws when using this site.

What does legally allowed mean? You must be an adult who is able to enter into a contract. Anyone desiring to purchase a firearm must be able to pass a background check ( Click here for the ATF web site for more information ). There are age limits on the sale of certain items. And certain types of items are illegal in certain places - for example 'assault weapons' cannot be sold in California and certain types of ammunition are illegal in certain states and cities. The NRA also has put together a terrific NRA guide to state-by-state gun laws. The ATF has compiled information on the various state laws; click here to view the ATF state-by-state gun laws information. Again, it is your responsibility to make sure that you comply with the laws of your country, city, and state. We do not tolerate attempted illegal activity here!

You do not have to be a licensed dealer to buy a firearm. If you are not a licensed dealer (also called an FFL Holder), you must make arrangements with an FFL holder in your state to receive the item and transfer it to you. (Note to C&R holders: if you are a C&R holder you already know the Byzantine C&R rules so we will not repeat them here). Virtually anyone who is involved in the sale or distribution of firearms is an FFL holder, including gun shops. You must make arrangements with your FFL holder when purchasing an item. By contacting the FFL holder when purchasing, the buyer can verify that all state and federal laws will be observed. For most firearms, the buyer must be able to pass a background check.

Pitbull Firearms is fortunate to use GunBroker.com  compiled  list of FFL holders who are willing to manage the legal transfer of firearms to unlicensed persons. Please check out this list on our Find a Transfer Dealer page located on the For Buyers page.  This section will allow the consumer to search local dealers within their zip code.

Non-firearm items, such as air guns, knives, ammunition, antique guns that were built in 1898 or earlier, accessories, and some gun parts do not require transfer by a licensed dealer. There are age restrictions on many of these items, and you will be asked to verify your age to the seller (typically by mailing a Xerox copy of your driver's license) before you can purchase the item. In general, you must be 18 years old to but items on this site. To buy Pistol ammunition, you must be at least 21 years old; at least 18 years old for Rifle ammunition.

If you have any questions or doubts about whether an item can be shipped to you, please contact your local FFL Holder or send a message to info@pitbullfirearms.com or please feel free to call Pitbull Firearms Inc. at 301-418-0028.
