Per federal law, firearms can only be transferred to the purchaser. We will not complete the transfer to anyone other than the named purchaser/addressee. Do not order firearms for other people. Please visit Don't Lie for the Other Guy  for information on straw purchases.

Incoming transfers must be verified and logged prior to scheduling and are generally available for scheduling the day after delivery. All appointments must be scheduled and we will notify you by e-mail when your firearm is available with instructions on how to schedule your transfer at https://calendly.com/kitchentableguns.

All incoming transfers must be picked up within 14 calendar days of arrival or risk storage fees or return to the seller at the customers expense.

Customers are responsible for insuring that they meet all legal requirements set by federal, state, and local laws to purchase and/or transfer firearms. This includes age restrictions, background checks, and any necessary permits or licenses. Please visit https://vsp.virginia.gov/firearms-purchase-eligibility-test/ if you are unsure of your eligibility.

If your background check is delayed and does not resolve within your appointment time you will need to schedule a return visit to complete your transaction. We will notify you upon receipt of final disposition.

We do not perform transfers to residents of other states, with the exception of active duty military personnel who otherwise meet residency requirements detailed below.

You will need to present a valid photo-ID issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia that denotes the purchaser’s name, sex, and date of birth. If the primary form of identification is a photo-ID issued by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), 30 days must have passed since the original date of issue or issue of a duplicate driver's license unless a copy of the purchasers DMV driver's record is presented showing that the original date of issue was more than 30 days prior to the attempted purchase.

Active Duty Military - A military photo-identification card issued by the United States Department of Defense is acceptable. A member of the armed forces whose photo-identification issued by the Department of Defense does not have a Virginia address may establish Virginia residency with such photo-ID and either permanent orders assigning the purchaser to a Virginia duty post, including the Pentagon, or Leave and Earnings Statement.

State and Federal Law Enforcement Officers - LEOs must meet ID requirements and must consent to a CHRI check for the purchase of a firearm by completion of form SP-65, with the exception of certification letter transactions as described in Section 925(a)(1) of the Gun Control Act.

We process transfers for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Resident Aliens. Resident Aliens must have their green card present at the time of transfer. We do not perform transfers for aliens with I-94 and other types of Visa’s.
