FFL Dealers in Decorah, IA
9 federally licensed firearms dealers in Decorah, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Address and phone for each.

What the list says about Decorah
- All 9 hold a dealer licence rather than a pawnbroker licence.
- All of them sit in ZIP 52101.
- Decorah ranks 17th of the 450 Iowa towns that have any licensed dealer, holding 0.8% of the state's licences.
Iowa does not require a private sale to go through a licensed dealer. Using one anyway is what puts a background check and a paper trail behind the sale — which is the part that protects the seller if the firearm later turns up somewhere it should not. Full Iowa transfer law guide →

Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes, without either of you driving anywhere twice.
