📦🚨📦
Hey! Your Firearm Misses You.
If we called or emailed — please come grab it. Soon. Like, this week soon.
Virginia’s July 1 law changes turned our shop into a UPS Store on Black Friday. We are physically running out of vault space and more shipments are arriving every day. We can no longer hold completed transfers while waiting on future arrivals.
Translation: please don’t make us play firearm Tetris. If your transfer is ready, book a pickup ASAP — we’ll high-five you on the way out the door. 🤝
📬 Got a shipping confirmation but haven’t heard from us yet? It’s almost certainly already here. We sometimes get behind on the “your firearm has arrived” emails when shipments stack up — but the firearm itself is sitting in the vault waiting for you. Go ahead and book a pickup.
🛠 We are doing everything we can to get your firearms to you. Extended hours, weekend shifts, fewer naps — we are working through the surge so every transfer gets cleared before July 1. Whether or not your firearm is affected by the new law, please pick up any completed transfers as soon as you reasonably can. It is a huge help.
📅 Book My Pickup Now
Heads up — we are planning a short break in early July to reset and recover. (Your friendly FFL has been running on coffee and adrenaline for two months straight — even gun guys need to sleep eventually. 😅) We will post exact dates once we have them.
Thank you — seriously. Prompt pickups keep the line moving for everyone.
Virginia gun laws are changing July 1, 2026. If you are planning to buy a covered firearm, both the order AND the transfer must complete before July 1 — purchasing alone does not beat the deadline. After July 1, assault firearm transfers will end and prior authorization will be required for all other incoming transfers. Time is limited — act now.

⚠ Changing July 1, 2026
Assault Firearm Transfers End
Virginia HB217/SB749 bans the transfer of firearms meeting the state’s “assault firearm” definition — including many semi-auto rifles and pistols with certain features.
See the full law breakdown →
FFL-Only Senders — Effective July 1
We will no longer accept firearm shipments from individuals or private sellers. All incoming transfers must ship from a licensed FFL. Two reasons: (1) too many private shipments arrive without the seller, buyer, or firearm info we need to log the gun and notify you. (2) private senders are less likely to know Virginia’s current firearm laws — including the new July 1 restrictions — so we expect a real chance of receiving items that aren’t legal to transfer here. Firearms shipped from individuals will be refused or returned at sender’s expense.
Prior Authorization Required
All incoming transfers after July 1 require prior coordination so we can confirm the firearm is legal for us to receive and for you to own. July is a learning period — pre-screening protects both sides while everyone gets familiar with the new laws. Firearms shipped without prior authorization will be refused or returned at the sender’s expense.
Contact us before having anything shipped.
New: NFA Full Submission Service
Full Form 4 submission service — electronic fingerprints, passport photos, eForms guidance. Pricing announced before July 1.
