ZX Gun

Description

Q: What do I need to buy a gun? A: To purchase a long gun (shotgun, rifle) you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Indiana or a bordering state (Illinois residents may face restrictions). To buy a handgun you must be at least 21 years old and a resident of Indiana. You also must present a valid photo ID that includes your current address (drivers license, state ID card, military ID w/ current orders). A potential buyer must also submit to an in-store instant FBI criminal background check known as a "national instant criminal search" or "NICS". The check takes about 5 minutes to perform. If you have been convicted of a felony or a domestic abuse charge you are ineligable to buy a gun. Q: Is there a waiting period to buy a gun? A: Indiana does not require a waiting period. However, occasionally a person is put into a "Delayed" status by NICS while more research is done. If this is the case, NICS has three business days to contact us with a decision. If we do not hear from NICS after three business days we may transfer the gun(s) to the buyer at our disgression. It is ZX Gun's policy to check the status of the Delay after three days for a final decision. Often we will receive an answer from NICS within three days and sometimes within an hour of the initial background check. Q: I am not sure if I have a criminal record/was charged as a juvenile, can I buy a gun? A: If you are not sure if you have a criminal record or were charged as a juvenile you must call the law enforcement agency in which you were involved during the incident(s) in question and inquire about your status and elligability to purchase firearms. Q: I am a resident of another state, can I buy a gun in Indiana? A: If you are a resident of a state bordering Indiana you may buy a long gun (Illinois residents may face restrictions). If you are a resident of a state other than Indiana you may still buy either a long gun or handgun but we must ship the gun to another federal firearm lisence dealer (FFL) in your state of residence. The FFL in your state will perform the NICS check and often charge about $25 for the service. We will also charge a shipping fee which will vary with the size and number of gun(s) shipped. Q: Can I buy a gun for a friend? A: Absolutely not. It is a federal offense known as a "straw purchase" to buy a gun for another person. If you want to give a friend or relative a gun as a gift you may purchase a gift certificate for the friend or relative in the amount of the gun. Q: I am a citizen of another country, can I buy a gun ? A: If you are a citizen of another country you may buy a gun if you are a resident alien with a "Green Card." You must also present proof of residence in the form of three consecutive months of utility bills that show your current address. This proof of residence must also be from the three months prior to the month of purchase. (For example, if you are purchasing in July, you must include bills from May, June, July, or April, May, June.) Additionaly, as with U.S. citizens, you must provide a valid photo ID, meet the age requirment for the type of gun being purchased and submit to an instant background check.
