Frequently Asked Questions

See below questions and answers for a more streamlined experience with us!

What do I need to bring to purchase a firearm?

You will need a valid drivers license and update card if the drivers license does not reflect your change in address. You must also ensure that you can pass a background check.

Can I take my firearm the same day?

Typically background checks come back the same day but it is ENTIRELY up to the PSP doing the background checks. If you are under 21 years old purchasing a rifle you will go into research because of a new ruling, where you will likely not get an approval/denial the same day. We do not control this process.

Where can I get my concealed permit?

In order to get your concealed carry permit, you will need to go through the sheriffs office to obtain it.

Do we transfer guns?

Yes! We transfer guns shipped in and person to person here at JW. Please call us for more information.

What is the cost of a failed background check?

If you fail a background check it is $50. You MUST be purchasing a gun in order to do a background check. We do not do background checks just to see if you would pass.

What if I feel I may not pass a background check?

At JW we are not legal counsel but will guide you in situations where the answer is clear. In other situations you will need to contact a lawyer or read the requirements on the background check to determine if you would be eligible to pass.

Do you purchase used guns?

Yes! We buy all types of firearms. We have a HUGE selection of used guns. We try to be as fair as possible to each customer that comes in. Please ensure any used guns being brought in are unloaded completely and preferrably transported in cases.

Can you order guns/ammo/accessories in that you don't have in stock?

We will absolutely try to order items from out distributors that cusotmers are looking for. We cannot guarantee that it will be in stock but we can put you on a waiting list. For items ordered we will have a down deposit be made for the item coming in.

Can you work on my gun if it is not working correctly?

At JW we currently do simple fixes and gunsmithing within our limits. Typically we can recommend a local gunsmith or assist in sending the gun back to the manufacturer.

Am I able to file a form 4 at JW?

Yes! We have a silencer shop kiosk that can get you jumpstarted on the process.
