The process to buy a gun depends significantly on the country or state due to varying legal requirements. Generally, in the U.S., to buy a gun online, you must:
- Select a local Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer.
- Confirm the FFL dealer will accept your firearm transfer.
- Buy the gun online and have it shipped to the FFL dealer.
- Complete the necessary forms and pass a background check at the FFL dealer’s location.
- Pay any transfer fees and complete the transfer before taking possession of the gun.
The dealer conducts a background check and ensures the transfer complies with federal and local laws. Receiving a firearm directly at home or transferring a gun across states without involving a licensed dealer is generally illegal.
If asking about other countries, such as Poland or various European nations, the process involves applying for a gun permit or license, completing firearm safety training, passing medical and psychological assessments, submitting an application to local authorities, and often undergoing police review/interview. The entire process can take months and cost hundreds to thousands of local currency units.
