Question 1

Can I legally buy a gun online in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes, buying a firearm online is 100% legal in the United States as long as the purchase complies with federal and state law. You cannot have a firearm shipped directly to your home. It must be shipped to a licensed FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) dealer near you. At the FFL dealer, you complete ATF Form 4473, pass a NICS background check, and pick up your firearm. Golden Brothers Co handles the shipping to your FFL dealer, you just need to find a local FFL partner.

Question 2

Can I buy a gun online and have it shipped to my house?

Accepted Answer

No, federal law requires all firearms to be transferred through a licensed FFL dealer. Ammunition, however, can ship directly to your home in most states. We verify your state’s restrictions before shipping. If you order ammo from Golden Brothers Co, it ships straight to your door.

Question 3

What is an FFL dealer and how does an FFL transfer work?

Accepted Answer

An FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) is a gun dealer licensed by the ATF to legally sell and transfer firearms. When you buy a gun online from Golden Brothers, we ship it to an FFL dealer near you. You visit that dealer, show valid ID, complete ATF Form 4473, and undergo a background check. The FFL dealer charges a transfer fee (typically $20–$50) for this service. We have an FFL dealer locator tool to help you find the closest option.

Question 4

How long does it take to buy a gun online?

Accepted Answer

The timeline typically looks like this: Order placed (Day 1) → We ship to FFL dealer (1–3 business days) → You visit FFL dealer, complete background check (same day if approved instantly) → Take firearm home. Most customers have their firearm within 5–7 business days from order date.

Question 5

What is the best 9mm handgun for beginners in 2025?

Accepted Answer

For beginners, we recommend the Glock 19, Sig Sauer P320, or the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus. These options are reliable, easy to maintain, and widely supported with accessories. All three are available at Golden Brothers Co with nationwide FFL transfer.

Question 6

What does NFA mean and what items require NFA registration?

Accepted Answer

NFA stands for National Firearms Act (1934). Items regulated under the NFA include suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBS), machine guns, destructive devices, and AOWs (Any Other Weapons). Purchasing an NFA item requires a Form 4 transfer, $200 tax stamp, and ATF approval, which currently takes several months. Golden Brothers Co handles the process and paperwork.

Question 7

Is bulk ammo worth buying online?

Accepted Answer

Yes, buying ammunition in bulk online usually saves money compared to buying smaller quantities in-store. Common bulk deals include 500-round or 1,000-round cases of 9mm, .223, and .308. It also helps ensure availability during shortages.

Question 8

Do you ship firearms to California, New York, or other restrictive states?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we ship to all 50 states, but state-specific regulations apply. Some states restrict certain firearm features, magazine capacities, or require additional documentation. Orders are reviewed for compliance before shipping.

Question 9

What is the difference between FMJ and hollow point ammunition?

Accepted Answer

FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) ammunition is typically used for range training due to its affordability and reliability. Hollow point ammunition expands on impact, making it more suitable for self-defense and home protection.

Question 10

How do I clean and maintain my firearm?

Accepted Answer

After each range session, field strip the firearm, clean the barrel with a bore brush and patches, wipe down components with solvent, apply light lubrication, and reassemble. Regular maintenance ensures reliability and longevity.
