What the list says about Gastonia
- Of these, 6 hold a dealer licence and 6 are pawnbrokers — both can run a transfer, though a pawn counter may quote differently for one.
- They are spread across 3 ZIP codes (28052, 28054, 28056), so the nearest one may not be the first on this list — check the address against where you actually are.
- Gastonia ranks 35th of the 464 North Carolina towns that have any licensed dealer, holding 0.6% of the state's licences.
North Carolina 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.

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.
