Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to bring a firearm into a gun store if it's not for immediate sale or service?

The preferred method is to transport the firearm in a secure case. If a case isn't available, use a chamber flag to clearly indicate the firearm is unloaded and safe. As a last resort, lock the action open and remove the magazine.

Why is it important to secure a firearm when entering a gun store?

Securing your firearm ensures the comfort and safety of other customers and staff. Unsecured firearms can cause concern and potentially lead to dangerous situations, as demonstrated by the collection of rounds from improperly handled firearms.

What are the recommended alternatives if I don't have a firearm case for transport into a gun store?

If a case isn't an option, the next best step is to use a chamber flag. Many firearms come with one, or you can often obtain one from the store. This visually confirms the firearm is unloaded.

What is the least preferred but acceptable method for bringing a firearm into a gun store?

The least preferred, but still acceptable, method is to simply lock the action open and remove the magazine. This visually and mechanically ensures the firearm cannot be fired, making others feel more comfortable.
