FFL Dealers in Pennsylvania
2,243 federally licensed firearms dealers across Pennsylvania, from the ATF’s published licensee list. Pick a city for names, addresses and phone numbers.
This is the ATF licensee list — who holds a licence and where. It is not opening hours, not transfer fees, and not a guarantee that a given dealer handles private-party transfers. Call before you drive.
What Pennsylvania requires for a private transfer
- Pennsylvania requires handgun private sales to go through a licensed dealer. For those, an FFL is required rather than optional.
- Pennsylvania exempts some transfers between family members, but the exemption is narrower than people expect and does not cover every relative or every kind of transfer. Check before relying on it.
- State-run PICS check for handguns. Private long gun sales unregulated.

Another 1,729 Pennsylvania dealers are in towns with fewer than 8 licensees each, so they do not have a page of their own. Search by ZIP code to find those.
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.
