Online Firearm Purchase Guidelines

You can now order firearms online!

Please note that handguns must be shipped to a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s located within your state of residence. Long guns (rifles and shotguns) may be shipped to a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s location in any state, provided (1) it is legal for you to acquire the firearm in the state where the store is located and (2) it is legal for you to acquire the firearm in the state, county and city where you reside. Please consult applicable laws and regulations to determine if you can legally acquire a long gun outside the state where you reside.

Only the person whose name appears on the order will be allowed to take possession of the firearm and transfer will take place only after all applicable legal requirements (i.e. background check, etc.) are completed. It is your responsibility to verify local, state and federal laws before attempting to purchase a firearm.
