A new ATF proposal would let a licensed dealer in your state sell you a firearm entirely online — identity verified by video, background check completed — and ship it straight to your home. No store visit. Here's exactly how it would work, explained by a licensed FFL.
Buy from a licensed dealer whose premises are in your state.
Government photo ID plus a live video check, to federal NIST identity standards.
Digital Form 4473 and the same FBI NICS check as in-store.
Waiting period runs; your local law enforcement is notified of the transfer.
Carrier delivers to your door — adult signature, tracked the whole way.
Every buyer still passes NICS. Nothing about eligibility changes.
The dealer's licensed premises must be in your state of residence.
Your state's waiting periods and restrictions ride on top of the federal rule.
This is a proposed rule in public comment. Earliest real-world effect: late 2026–2027.
We're a licensed Oklahoma FFL/SOT with 48,000+ products, secure online checkout, and the compliance systems already running — the same infrastructure that handles NFA transfers and state-by-state shipping restrictions today.
We filed a formal comment on the rule as a licensed dealer, and we're tracking the docket to the day. Join the list and you'll know the moment home delivery goes live in Oklahoma.
