One bench, and the towns that drive to it.

The law doesn't change at the city line

Georgia preempts local firearms regulation. Under O.C.G.A. § 16-11-173, cities and counties can't write their own rules about the sale, transfer, transport or possession of firearms — that authority sits with the state. So a Milton customer and a Smyrna customer are working from the same rulebook, and anyone telling you your town has a special ordinance is mistaken.

What does change with your address is federal paperwork. An NFA application — a Form 1 to build, a Form 4 to transfer — has to be copied to a chief law enforcement officer where you live. Since ATF Rule 41F took effect in July 2016 that's a notification and not a permission slip: no signature to chase, and no office that can decline it. It just has to be addressed correctly and sent on time, which is a step we handle rather than hand you.

Each page below names the county office for that town, along with the road that actually gets you here.
