4. How gun transfers work

a. Online

i. Purchase the firearm from the seller

ii. Seller requests Steel Rain’s FFL license

iii. Send your invoice to Steel Rain (steve@steelrainllc.com)

iv. Steel Rain notifies you when your purchase arrives and sets up a time for your transfer

 

b. Face-to-face

i. Bill of sale, money exchange

ii. Valid VA drivers license (or other valid Virginia ID)

iii. Provide a conceal to carry or Virginia voter card (proof of legal ability to own a firearm)

iv. **Does not protect the seller v. **Alternatively, use Steel Rain’s transfer service to protect both parties and ensure legality while minimizing liability**

 

You can use SteelRain to handle your Face To Face and let us do an FFL transfer for both parties.
