Purchasing a firearm online or from an out-of-state dealer? Guardian Training Academy provides firearm transfer services in Portage, Michigan.
Have the firearm shipped to Guardian Training Academy through the appropriate licensed dealer. Once it arrives and has been processed, we will contact you to schedule a pickup appointment.
Transfer fee: $25 per firearm
Complete your purchase through the retailer, manufacturer, or licensed seller. Select Guardian Training Academy as the receiving Federal Firearms Licensee, or provide the seller with our required FFL information.
Firearms must be shipped by a party legally permitted to do so and in accordance with all applicable laws and carrier requirements.
Tracking information showing that a package has been delivered does not mean the firearm is ready for pickup. We must first receive, inspect, and process it into our records.
Please do not arrive for pickup until Guardian Training Academy has contacted you.
Once the firearm is ready, we will call you to schedule a pickup appointment.
At your appointment, you must complete the required transfer paperwork and satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local requirements before the firearm can be released.
Bring a valid, current government-issued photo ID showing your correct residential address. Additional permits, identification, or documentation may be required depending on the firearm and transaction.
The firearm can only be released to the person identified as the actual buyer or transferee, subject to successful completion of all required paperwork and eligibility checks.
Standard transfer fee: $25 per firearm
The transfer fee covers receiving the firearm, required recordkeeping, processing the transfer, and conducting the pickup appointment.
Any additional shipping, seller, storage, return, permit, tax, or special handling charges are separate unless expressly stated otherwise.
