On Target Sports Gun Transfers

Gun Transfer Process

Before ordering a new gun from another dealer or on the internet, please know that OTS consistently carries an extensive selection of firearms from almost every manufacturer in the industry, and will do our best to meet or beat online offerings.  If we don’t have it immediately in stock, we have the ability to order anything commercially available from our distributors and usually have it delivered to you within a week.

If we can’t assist you with a purchase however, OTS will help facilitate your transfer.  You will be responsible for handling the financial portion of the purchase of the firearm directly with the seller.

If you are purchasing/receiving a firearm from a FFL dealer:  you will need to send them a copy of our Federal Firearms License (Click Here for Copy). The seller will then send the firearm to OTS. After we receive and check in the firearm,  an OTS Staff Member will call letting you know it is ready for pick-up at the store.

If you are purchasing/receiving a firearm from a private seller/individual (NOT a FFL dealer): the seller must include a copy of their driver’s license or other government issued ID showing their date of birth and current address.

The cost of an incoming transfer is $35 per handgun/rifle and includes your FDLE call-in fee.  All Class III/NFA weapons transfers are $75 per item. You are still subject to a Florida-mandated three business-day wait, but the waiting period does begin when you pay for the gun.  We do accept transfers directly from civilians (non-FFLs) with proper identification.  Outgoing transfers are $50.00 per gun plus applicable shipping.

You MUST be a resident of the State of Florida with a valid Florida Driver’s License showing your CURRENT address. Expired licenses are NOT a valid form of identification.

If you are in the military and stationed in the area, you can process a transfer. To do so, you must bring us ALL of the following:

  • Your current driver’s license or passport
  • A copy of your PCS orders showing your stationing in the Jacksonville area

Important Notes on Gun Transfers

***TRANSFER PICK-UPs MUST BE NO LATER THAN 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO CLOSING TO ALLOW FOR PAPERWORK PROCESSING AND BACKGROUND CHECK.***

FOR OUTGOING TRANSFERS, YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH THE RECEIVING FFL DEALER’S LICENSE, OR THEY MAY EMAIL IT TO US DIRECTLY.   UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTACT OR REACH OUT TO A RECEIVING FFL DEALER ON YOUR BEHALF TO OBTAIN THEIR LICENSE.  WE DO NOT ACCEPT OR PROCESS OUTGOING TRANSFERS ON WEEKENDS.  TRANSFERS GOING TO CALIFORNIA OR PUERTO RICO ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL PROCESSING CHARGES.

***PLEASE ALLOW US AT LEAST 24 HOURS TO RECEIVE AND PROCESS YOUR INCOMING TRANSFER.   WE MUST ENTER THE FIREARM’S INFORMATION INTO OUR BOOKS BEFORE YOU MAY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT.   WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO COME AND PICK UP YOUR FIREARM.***

Came here for the first time about a week ago, it is a nice looking store that has a really solid gun range. As a new gun owner for about 6 months I really do appreciate the patience and kind expressions in answering any question I had and will continue to have, as I continue to learn more about firearms as it is essential! Sadly I didn't experienced much kind remarks from other gun stores around town I've been to but this one here is welcoming. The range officers and the workers are very polite, showed me how to use the range! Definitely had an awesome experience with friends here. Will be coming back if I'm around the area to support the business! btw, I been wanting to join a club of some sort getting all the needed experience, I will have to go and ask! Thank you again.

Very disappointed was visiting my family in Jacksonville from Canada and couldn’t wait to go the range. We got there my family had their own guns for us to shoot. Filled in the paper work gave out I.d whole process good to go. Went inside a gentleman friendly enough I guess went through the procedure my brother in law was already very knowledgeable so we started it was good so far. About 20 or so minutes into shooting a man came in and asked if we had a green card we said no as we are Canadian citizens he said Canadians aren’t allowed to shoot guns some new law made recently (not true) and said we had to leave immediately. If your a facility be aware of your laws Canadians can shoot at gun ranges needless to say don’t go there if your a tourist better off in somewhere like Orlando or Fort Lauderdale where they are more accustomed to Tourists and the actual laws. (Had to add) from looking at the responses from the company to the complaints they basically tell you that your wrong and how great there staff actually is lol so please no need for a response just had to say.

Usually go a couple of times a month. Everyone on the staff is very polite and helpful. Range officials keep a safe and professional environment. Prices are reasonable with a fully equipped store for all your shooting needs.

My wife and I went to OTS for a CWP class. Mark was our instructor and he was awesome. He is Knowledgeable and has a professional yet friendly presentation style. The time flew by! He and the RSO were thorough and organized for our range time. We wanted to get the certification but ended up finding a great place to shoot!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The shooting range is excellent, and not a sweatbox like most indoor ranges. Selection of rental guns includes automatics, which is must for anyone who hasn't tried it. This will definitely be my first choice shooting range.

First off the guy at the counter I think his name was Michael was so polite and kind. Great customer service. He treated me and my friend really nice. Definetly coming back here again, the rest of the staff was also very great most of them veterans. Great place to go practice or buy a weapon. Came here like 2 weeks ago. Especial recognition to Michael, 100% recommended.

Happened to drive by and decided to stop in. The had everything I expected from and much much more, many things I didn't even know exited for were available and guns on the shelf that I had only seen in demonstrations previously and the staff was extremely nice and competent on some random items and questions I had about them.

I love On Target. The range people have always been friendly. They make sure i am doing things safe as well as other guests. Only complaint is I wish they were closer to south St Augustine so I would shot more often.

I’m an experienced shooter and frequent gun shops and ranges regularly. On a given week I visit on target twice to shoot. The shop is clean and staffed with friendly team members who do not give off the vibe of “ gun shop commandos”. This is the only shop in the city that did not gouge on ammo prices during the shortage and I made it a point to remember that. I’ll do my business here from here on out. Great place
