There are almost 2,000 Federal Firearms Licenses in Louisiana, but not all of them are legally able to sell NFA items. To help you sort that out, we’ve put together a handy list of Louisiana NFA dealers so you can find the one closest to you.
Before we do that, though, let’s get a quick rundown of the NFA items you can buy in Louisiana, what they are, and how to get them.
In the meantime, here’s a list of Louisiana NFA dealers / Louisiana Class 3 dealers :
The ATF has several types of NFA guns and devices that can be legally owned when you jump through the hoops. Louisiana allows ownership of the following legally acquired NFA devices:
You’ll most likely want to get a Louisiana NFA gun trust set up to make buying the NFA item (and eventual estate planning) easier. Most dealers will either be able to provide you with a pretty generic sort of Louisiana NFA gun trust at the time of purchase, or can refer you to a good attorney or law firm to get one. Just ask your dealer if you aren’t sure.
Buying your NFA item from a Louisiana Class 3 Dealer is really easy! Of course, you’ll have to do some basic research first and let your fingers do the walking before you head out to make your purchase. Depending on what you want, some dealers may not have it on hand, or you may need to special order what you want. That’s completely normal, so don’t sweat it. Some Louisiana Class 3 Dealers are also manufacturers, so it’s possible that what you want can simply be made to order, which is a great way to get a very specific NFA device.
Whether you’re transferring an NFA item from a private party or out of state, or buying an existing or custom built NFA item, finding the right dealer can be tricky.
Check around for the quality of service and transfer fees that suit you best. Again, let your fingers do the walking. For in stock or custom built items, you probably won’t have to pay any sort of FFL fee. If you are transferring an NFA item, expect to pay a fee to the FFL for their time and trouble. This varies from dealer to dealer, so shop around.
Usually, if they are ordering an NFA item like a silencer from a manufacturer for you, there aren’t any extra fees, as they are able to mark their wholesale cost up to give a fair profit that covers the cost of doing business.
Expect to wait once you buy your NFA item. The ATF takes a very long time to process NFA applications – sometimes up to a year. Look on the bright side: it gives you more time to get ammo – and with the ammo market the way it is right now, that’s definitely a good thing.
One thing to note: there is no such thing as a “class 3 weapons permit” because you don’t need a permit to buy a gun from a Louisiana class 3 license holder.
