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

What the list says about Iowa City
- All 12 hold a dealer licence rather than a pawnbroker licence.
- They are spread across 3 ZIP codes (52240, 52245, 52246), so the nearest one may not be the first on this list — check the address against where you actually are.
- Iowa City ranks 10th of the 450 Iowa towns that have any licensed dealer, holding 1.1% 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.
