Transferring Firearms to Military Members | Special Rules for filling out ATF Form 4473

Military Members and Dual State Residency

ATF regulations allow for Federal Firearms Licensees to transfer firearms to members of the military on active duty even though the member resides in another state. This type of transaction may require that the military member produce certain documents, as well as additional information to be entered into the ATF Form 4473.

Federal Firearms Licensees must also follow state law and local regulations with respect to this type of transaction.
