How buying a gun in Greenwood works
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Indiana law allows.
Indiana has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Indiana dealer you name, who charges their own transfer fee. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473.
