FAQ’s

Where the fu*k are you?

  • If you are standing on the side walk or sitting in your car wonder where the hell the shop is then click here for a step by step guide on how to find it.

USPS tried to deliver my package and said you were closed. Now what?

  • This is a daily battle. The post office is 35 yards (yes, we checked) down the street. So when they leave in the morning to make their deliveries, we are among their first stops. This is usually around 8-9am. We don’t open for another 3-4 hours.
  • So we get the notification slip in the mail box and go to the post office the next day.
  • We have tried to talk with them and work something out but have had no luck.

Why do I have to give my name when I call you guys?

  • Long answer very short, the system prevents robo-calls and telemarketers from blowing up the phone. They suck, we hate them.
  • So give your name or don’t give your name we’ll still answer the phone regardless.

Why was the door locked when I showed up but the sign said open?

  • Only time the door is locked is when the shop is closed or we’re taking Gunner out to do his business. He is still a puppy so he has to go out frequently.

Why is the shop closed when Google/Facebook says it’s open?

  • More than likely we ran to pick up lunch or a package at USPS/FedEx/UPS.
  • However there are times when the shop is closed on normal work days. We typically post on Facebook and Instagram letting everyone know ahead of time.
  • When in doubt, give us a call.

What is consignment?

  • To put it shortly; we sell your stuff for you. Guns, bayonets, militaria, etc.
  • You bring whatever it is to us, you sign a consignment agreement, we sell it, you get payed.

Can you ship my gun to another state?

  • Yes we can. When shipping a firearm to another state, we need a valid copy of a recieving FFL. Please send a copy to sales@foundingfathersguns.com

Do you allow for products to be held so I can buy it later?

  • We do not hold anything without either full payment for the item(s) or a signed layaway agreement. No exceptions.

Why do you have two of the same guns listed but the one under consignment is a different price?

  • People who decide to consign their guns to us have complete control over what price the gun will be listed for. We assist when we can but in the end, we don’t determine the listing price.

Do you offer firearm classes?

  • We don’t, however out friend Matt does. You can learn more about that at the training page we made for him here.

What are your Store Policies?

  • You can view our Store Policies here.

I am a L.E.O., will you ship me products that are banned in my state because I’m exempt?
