Firearm Internet Transfers Are Growing

"As recently as five years ago, barely half of all firearms retailers processed transfers of firearms that consumers bought online. Today, a major national survey for Shooting Industry magazine indicates nearly 95 percent of retailers perform these “Internet transfers,” earning millions in transfer fees and add-on sales, while performing an important customer service.

"More than 330 firearms retailers responded to the survey conducted by the national research firm, Responsive Management. The survey was designed to measure retailer attitudes and policies regarding transfers resulting from online firearm sales, and the scope of add-on sales that might accompany the transfers.

"The study showed a dramatic increase in retailer willingness to perform transfers for online sales in recent years. Some 45 percent of the responding retailers indicate they have begun performing Internet transfers within the past five years — nearly half of those have only begun within the past two years.

"While retailer acceptance of Internet transfers has increased, the number of transfers is still relatively small. Nearly half of dealers (45.8 percent) indicate they do less than five transfers per month, 29.2 percent do between six and 10, and 18.3 percent do 11 to 25 transfers per month. Fewer than 7 percent of respondents reported doing more than 25 transfers in a month."
