PRACTICAL LEGAL TIP
• The loan or rental of a firearm for use off of an FFL’s licensed
premises; and
• Any other non-exempt transfer of a firearm.
Thinking about pawning a firearm
for a little emergency cash? Be sure
you are eligible to purchase a firearm
when you redeem your pawn ticket.
Since most pawn shops are FFL
dealers, you will need to complete
an ATF Form 4473 and pass a NICS
background check simply to get your
own firearm out of pawn. —Edwin
4. What transactions do not require a background check?
A background check is not required under the following
circumstances:
• The sale or transfer of a firearm where the transferee presents a
valid state permit/license that allows the transferee to possess,
acquire, or carry a firearm (for example, a Texas LTC) from
the state where the FFL is located and the state permit/license
is recognized by the ATF as a qualifying alternative to the
background check requirement;
• The transfer of a firearm from one FFL to another FFL;
• The return of a repaired firearm to the person from whom it
was received;
• The sale of a firearm to a law enforcement agency or a law
enforcement officer for official duties if the transaction meets
the specific requirements of 27 CFR § 478.134, including
providing a signed certification from a person in authority on
