FAQS

  1. Can a gun be sent to my house? No, all firearms must be sent to an FFL (federal firearms license) dealer.
  2. Why does the firearm need to be shipped to an 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 an FFL dealer so the person the firearm is being transferred to can fill out the proper paperwork and complete the required background check.
  3. Do I need to have a background check? Yes, all firearms purchases require a federally mandated background check to be completed by the FFL dealer at the time the firearm is picked up.
  4. 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 the FFL dealer to you.
  5. Do I need to have a license? Colorado does not have a licensing requirement to purchase a firearm, but some local laws may have other restrictions in place. D4 Tactical recommends you check with local law enforcement for current laws in your municipality.
  6. Do I need to have a concealed carry permit? No, you do not need a carry permit to buy a gun online. Nor can a carry permit be used in lieu of a background check in the state of Colorado.
  7. Is it legal to buy a gun online? Yes! It is entirely legal to purchase a firearm online, but the firearm must be shipped to a licensed FFL dealer. Keep in mind that you must pass the mandated federal background check to take possession of the firearm from the FFL dealer. If your background check comes back denied, you will not be able to take possession of the firearm that you have paid for. It is good practice to only purchase online if you know you will pass the background check.
