My experience with Lone Star was amazing! From answering emails quickly to the most pleasant phone conversation, from walking through the door to ending the transaction, the staff was 100% courteous, professional, and friendly. I will do business with this establishment far more in the future. I recommend them 10 out of 10 times!
This is by far the best shop in Houston. Mr. Dave and his wife are so friendly, and so knowledgeable. They have an amazing selection of used firearms and can order pretty much anything. Oh yah, and FFL is only 15.00 which is unheard of. Trust me, go see Dave & support local businesses. Thank you Dave for a seamless transfer and for the amazing customer service. I’ll be back!!
Mrs Amy and her husband were very helpful with assisting my mom and I with purchasing our very first Tx pistols! So knowledgeable and attentive and have amazing collection. Will def be back!
David and Amy run an outstanding FFL and gun shop. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel welcome and taken care of. Their knowledge is top-tier, and they take the time to develop a personal relationship with every customer. The shop is clean, organized, and the transfer process is always fast and smooth. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the community. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, someone experienced, or just need carry ammo, this is exactly the kind of place you want to do business with. Highly recommended as I've been a frequent customer over the past 10 years! Thank you David and Amy! God Bless 🙏
100% recommend! Very friendly - Very efficient - Very well run - Very Fast - Very reasonable price. Not sure what more you could ask for! If you are looking for a FFL transfer or a well stocked shop with some very nice inventory - This is your place
To buy a firearm from a licensed dealer in Texas, you must be at least 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns, a Texas resident, pass a background check, and not be a prohibited person under state or federal law. A valid Texas License to Carry can exempt you from the instant background check.
An FBI NICS background check usually completes in minutes. If delayed, the firearm may be released after three business days, but our shop policy often requires a final 'Proceed' status before release. For non-U.S. citizens, a delay of 1-5 days is typical.
Yes, we process FFL transfers for $15 per firearm. You need to notify us via email before the firearm is shipped and provide the seller's information so we can send our FFL. Once it arrives, we'll contact you to complete the paperwork and background check.
You'll need a valid, state-issued identification like a Texas Driver's License or Texas ID. If you have a Texas License to Carry (LTC), bring that too, as it speeds up the background check. Non-U.S. citizens also need original immigration documents such as a Green Card or I-94 with a valid Texas Hunting License.
A regular FFL transfer covers standard firearms, while an NFA transfer is for federally regulated items like suppressors or short-barreled rifles, requiring a more extensive registration process with the BATFE, including an ATF Form 4, a tax stamp fee (typically $200), fingerprints, and often longer wait times.
No, there are absolutely no hidden costs or extra charges for our FFL transfers. Our $15 fee per firearm is transparent and one of the lowest in the Houston area. Extended storage fees are rare and only apply after three weeks without communication, and we're always willing to work something out fairly.
We offer a first-class customer experience with a friendly, non-intimidating environment, family-owned business values, and competitive pricing, including a $15 FFL transfer fee. We prioritize clear communication, efficient processing, and ensure a smooth, stress-free transfer process.
