Used Gun Stores

931 of the 12,339 gun stores we track nationwide have used guns. A map listing shows a store's category and hours, not whether its shelves include trade-ins and consignment pieces alongside new stock — that detail either shows up buried in a random review or not at all. Every store here has used guns confirmed from its own website or current inventory listing, not inferred from one customer mentioning a used rack.

Bring a valid photo ID and expect the same background check as buying new. Inspect a used gun's bore, action, and finish in person before buying, and ask the shop to let you field-strip and function-check it, since return policies on used firearms are often more limited than on new ones.

Common questions

Do gun stores buy used guns?: Many do, either buying outright, taking trade-ins toward a new purchase, or selling on consignment for a cut of the sale price. Policies vary a lot by shop, so it's worth calling ahead to ask how they handle appraisals and payment.
Is it safe to buy a used gun from a store?: Buying from a licensed dealer is generally safer than a private sale, since the store runs the same background check as a new purchase and often inspects the gun before putting it on the shelf. It's still worth asking about the gun's history and testing the action yourself before you commit.
