We are happy to facilitate the transfer of firearms to our clients & customers. We can transfer between two local individuals. This is where local person is selling a firearm to another and both parties want to ensure the transaction is conducted legally. This protects both parties involved. To do this type of transfer, both parties must come into our office or training site. The seller / owner will bring the gun in to be transferred and their identification. We will receive it from them and log it into our books and give them a receipt showing it has been removed from their name. The buyer will fill out the federal firearm purchase for and present current identification and  permit to purchase or Michigan CPL. We will verify info with a NICS background check and, upon successful completion, transfer the firearm to the new owner. The most common transfer is a long distance transfer. This occurs when buying out of state. This is common when someone purchases a gun through an auction service, from a distant gun store or receives a firearm from an out of state relative. All firearms shipped to us MUST come from a licensed firearm dealer with a valid FFL. Shipping Dealer MUST enclose an ink signed copy of their FFL along with invoice or packing slip indicating purchaser name and firearm details including serial number with the gun. We DO NOT accept any firearm shipped from an individual without an FFL. Email Bruce@michiganpistolacademy.com to  get more info or call 810-969-1399. The fee for firearm transfers is: $30.00
