Gun Transfers Near Chattanooga and in Fort Oglethorpe, GA
Shooter's Supply handles firearm transfers at both of our stores: Hixson, TN, near Chattanooga, and Fort Oglethorpe, GA. Our Hixson store handles transfers for a gun you buy from a dealer in another state, a gun you sell to someone who lives out of state, and a face-to-face transfer between two people in the same state. Safety comes first in everything we do, and we have been serving our community for over 50 years.
Three kinds of transfers at our Hixson store
- Buying from an out-of-state dealer. You buy the firearm from a federally licensed dealer in another state, and it comes to our store.
- Selling to someone who lives out of state. We handle the transfer when your buyer lives in another state.
- Face-to-face transfers inside your state. We transfer a firearm from one individual to another within the state.
Transfers in from, and out to, out-of-town dealers, along with background checks, are welcome.
