> 1. To buy online from a dealer, no matter their location ([Budsgunshop.com](http://Budsgunshop.com) is the cheapest I’m aware of), you simply buy it like you would anything else. Throughout the checkout process, it’ll have you select a local dealer (FFL-Federal Firearms License) that they will ship it to. This needs to be done because the local dealer will be doing your background check before you can leave their shop with the gun. Fees vary by dealer. Big dealers that have storefronts will charge easily $50 for the transfer. A guy running out of his house will do it for $15-25. That’s the route I go, as I’ve developed a good rapport with a couple guys in the area who sell out of their house. It’d be best to call the local dealer ahead of time to let them know you got a gun coming in, and your name, and the make/model of the gun.

ok cool… now another question lol… im pretty sure I would have already got in trouble if I wasnt allowed to own guns as everyone already knows about the shotgun incident, but as far as the background check goes, will I be alright if I have misdemeanors and have been CHARGED with a felony, but not convicted? id have a hard time getting a pistol permit, but i should still be ok to buy rifles right?
