In our opinion, there three main reasons to renew or acquire your Louisiana Permit:

1. Reciprocity - If your travel out of state, to states with reciprocity, your permit is honored and you do not have to disarm, or store your CCW according to that state law.
2. In lieu of a NICS check - If you have a valid permit issued in the last 5 years, you do not need to have your information submitted to the FBI. This makes the transaction faster AND reduces the 'paper trail'..
3. Training - If your CHP Instructor gives actual training as per LSP guidelines, you will benefit from going over Louisiana law and you will be given feedback on shooting fundamentals to help improve your abilities.

Yes, we accept all transfers, however, we recommend contacting us before transferring a Title 2 device, as it will more than likely cost more to transfer than to buy from us directly.

Generally speaking, we are able to acquire and sell almost any firearm and/or firearm accessory. We currently use about 10 Title 1 Distributors, and 8 Title 2 distributors. In most cases, we can match or beat new firearm sales. Support Local and contact us to see what we can do BEFORE buying online.

You've called us and we are unable to match the price of a new firearm, or you found a used gun you have to have. This is the typical process:

1. The seller will need our FFL if we haven't already done business with them. You can retrieve our FFL from the 'Downloads' section of this website.
2. The seller will ship your firearm to us and possibly provide you with tracking information. We will not schedule your transfer appointment until AFTER we have received your shipment.
3. When the package is received, we will process with 2 business days. You will then be contacted to schedule your transfer appointment
4. During the transfer appointment, we will need your current and correct drivers license or state issued ID, your Louisiana CHP (if you have one), and your transfer payment. Credit cards will be assessed a small processing fee.
5. You will complete an ATF Form 4473, and we will submit it through NICS (unless you have a valid LA CHP, issued in the last 5 years), and you must stay until we have a NICS response.

We will assess a $30.00 per month storage fee for firearms that are left at our location. This fee will be due and paid before releasing the firearm.
