Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with all federal, state, and local laws and restrictions applicable to the products they order, possess, receive, transport, or use. Faith First Firearms and the receiving FFL independently review transactions for applicable compliance requirements and reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or place an order on hold when required by law, regulation, distributor policy, or responsible business practice.
7.2 Restricted Destinations — Operational Policy.
Some jurisdictions impose additional requirements or restrictions on firearms, ammunition, magazines, and accessories, and some distributors decline to ship certain products to certain destinations. Orders remain subject to applicable federal, state, and local law, receiving-FFL requirements, and Faith First Firearms compliance review. Where a product cannot be shipped to your destination, checkout will tell you. These are operational and distributor policies applied by Faith First Firearms; they are not a summary of the law in your jurisdiction and are not legal advice. Verify your own requirements before ordering.
7.3 Ammunition and FFL/Vendor Requirements.
Some jurisdictions require ammunition to be shipped to an FFL or licensed vendor and may require permits or background checks. You agree to comply fully.
7.4 Refused, Illegal, or Non-Compliant Orders.
Where an order is refused, cancelled, or returned for a reason attributable to you, you are responsible for the actual applicable costs incurred, which may include:
- outbound shipping actually charged;
- return shipping actually charged;
- receiving-FFL charges;
- storage or processing expenses actually incurred;
- distributor or manufacturer restocking charges actually charged;
- other non-refundable costs actually associated with resolving the transaction.
Any refund due is determined after those charges are accounted for and in accordance with the Refunds & Returns Policy, which controls.
7.5 No Legal Advice.
Provided information is general guidance, not legal advice. You must verify legality.
8. Third-Party Links and Vendors
8.1 The Website may link to third-party platforms.
8.2 We are not responsible for third-party content or policies.
9. NFA-Regulated Items
9.1 Faith First Firearms does not accept, sell, or transfer NFA-regulated items. We do not hold an SOT and do not facilitate NFA transfers through partners.
9.2 This is a Faith First Firearms business policy and is not a statement about the general legality of owning or transferring an NFA-regulated item.
9.3 Manufacturer warranties and manufacturer obligations are addressed in Section 16.
10. Firearm Sales & Transfer Requirements
10.1 Firearms must ship to verified FFLs.
10.2 You must confirm the FFL accepts transfers.
10.3 We ship only to ATF-verified FFL addresses.
10.4 If an FFL refuses delivery, you are responsible for all associated costs.
10.5 Firearms are released only after successful NICS check and Form 4473.
11. Background Check Policy
11.1 Transfers require a NICS check.
11.2 NICS outcomes include Proceed, Delay, Denied, or Cancelled.
11.3 A Denied or Cancelled result means the firearm cannot be released. The actual applicable costs of a returned, cancelled, or otherwise dispositioned transfer are described in Section 11.7 and in the Refunds & Returns Policy, which controls.
11.4 Faith First Firearms conducts a background check for every firearm transfer to an unlicensed customer through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) under company policy. You must complete ATF Form 4473 in our presence prior to submission. This is a Faith First Firearms business policy and is not a universal federal requirement.
If NICS returns a “Proceed,” the firearm will be released at the appointment upon payment of all applicable fees.
If NICS returns a “Denied,” we cannot and will not transfer the firearm to you under any circumstances. The actual applicable costs of the returned or cancelled transaction are the purchaser’s responsibility, as described in Section 11.7. Transfer fees are non-refundable once processing has begun, subject to the signed transfer agreement.
If NICS returns a “Delayed,” we must wait for NICS to complete its review.
If no final determination (“Proceed” or “Denied”) is provided within five (5) business days, the transfer will be canceledin accordance with Faith First Firearms policy. This cancellation policy applies to every customer, including customers under 21, and is a Faith First Firearms business policy rather than a universal federal requirement. In this case:
The firearm cannot be transferred to the customer
The transaction will be treated as a canceled transfer
All transfer and processing fees remain non-refundable
The firearm may be returned to the seller at the customer’s expense or handled under our Storage and Unclaimed-Firearm Policy, with storage, handling, and return-shipping costs remaining the customer’s responsibility
Customers wishing to challenge or appeal a NICS decision must contact the FBI directly. We cannot file, track, or expedite appeals on your behalf.
Faith First Firearms does not release any firearm without a confirmed NICS “Proceed.” We do not transfer firearms based on the federal Brady date or the expiration of the delay period.
11.5 NICS appeals must be filed directly with the FBI.
11.6 Records are retained per ATF requirements.
11.7 Denied or Uncompleted Transfers — Cost Responsibility. If a firearm transfer cannot be completed because of a denied background check, purchaser ineligibility, failure to satisfy applicable transfer requirements, failure to provide required documentation, refusal or inability to complete the transfer, or another circumstance attributable to the purchaser, the purchaser is responsible for applicable costs incurred as a result. These may include return shipping, distributor or manufacturer restocking charges, receiving-FFL charges, processing expenses, and other non-refundable costs actually associated with the cancelled or returned transaction. Any refund due will be determined after applicable return and non-refundable charges are accounted for and in accordance with the controlling Refunds & Returns Policy and applicable law. Depending on the circumstances the firearm is returned, cancelled, or otherwise dispositioned as appropriate. Faith First Firearms does not charge a separate background-check fee.
11.8 Automated Checkout Does Not Determine Eligibility. Website availability, checkout completion, dealer selection, or automated compliance screening does not constitute a determination that a customer is legally eligible to purchase, possess, or receive a firearm or other regulated product. Final transfer eligibility is determined through the legally required transfer process and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Return shipment or re-transfer: $35 administrative fee plus shipping.
Faith First Firearms does not charge a separate background-check fee. The background check is part of the transfer process covered by the transfer fee above.
