Firearms Transaction Requirements
Thank you for your inquiry into purchasing a firearm from Jay’s Sporting Goods.
MICHIGAN RESIDENTS;
Michigan residents picking up firearms at Jay’s business locations must pass all state and federal requirements and be the actual owner of the firearm. Long guns require government form 4473 being filled out with proper proof of residency and a valid government issued photo identification. In addition, passing the NICS background check is mandatory before possession can occur. Handguns require resident to have a purchase permit present with proper issuing signatures and expiration dates filled out, and will be required to show proper identification and proof of residency. Handgun purchasers will also be required to fill out government form 4473. Current and valid Concealed Carry Weapons permit holders for handguns do not require purchase permits, but are required to fill out government form 4473 and pass NICS background check.
Shipping
Shipping firearms to residents requires Jay’s to have a current copy of a Dealers license receiving the firearm; known as a Federal Firearms License (FFL). This license copy must have an inked signature by one authorized for the license. Therefore, it must be mailed not faxed to Jay’s. The actual customer does not need an FFL, only the business acting as the receiving agent for the firearm needs to provide the FFL. The receiving agent then is required to fulfill all state and federal laws with the customer.
NON-RESIDENTS OF MICHIGAN;
Non-residents, but United States citizens, picking up firearms at Jay’s business locations are subject to their state and local laws concerning long gun purchases and Jay’s is required to adhere to those regulations. This can require extensive research, so please call prior to picking up firearms. Non-residents, due to Michigan requirements, cannot pick up handguns at Jay’s.
