Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and legal trading experience.
Always Use a Licensed FFL
Never complete a firearms transfer without going through a licensed Federal Firearms License dealer. It protects both parties legally.
Verify Before You Trade
Use GatSwap's built-in identity verification to confirm the identity of your trading partner before committing to a deal.
Know Your State Laws
Firearm laws vary significantly by state. Always check your local regulations before initiating a trade, especially for interstate transfers.
Document Everything
Keep records of all communications, agreements, and transfer receipts. GatSwap stores these automatically in your account.
Report Suspicious Activity
If something feels off about a listing or a user, report it immediately. Our team reviews every report within 24 hours.
Never Share Personal Info Outside the Platform
Keep all negotiations within GatSwap's encrypted messaging system. Never share your address or phone number in public listings.
