  Thanks Bud's! This is my 2nd purchase from you and looking forward to doing future business! Very convenient for me since I'm a truck driver and don't have time to get to the local gun stores!

  Had the ammo I wanted at a good price. Relatively easy to set up an account. Warned me there may be a delay in receiving my order but every ammo site states the same thing.

  Very easy to order my ammo and with no restrictions as a Marine veteran. Had to wait awhile for stock to return but was worth it. Thanks Bud's Gun Shop.

  Buds can on occasion have exceptional deals on firearms. That's because you won't actually receive the firearm. I'm a service member, and I've used Buds in the past for accessories, so there were multiple shipping addresses on my account. I tried to purchase a firearm from them but was sent an email stating that they needed to contact me about my order. I called them, and was told that they needed a copy of my orders assigning me to Kansas, or a copy of my Drivers License to ship the gun; because it could only be transferred in the state that I reside. Well that's true, but Buds wasn't transferring the gun directly to me. They were transferring it to my FFL, who is responsible for verifying that I'm a resident of the state. The sales agent I initially talked to really didn't want to transfer me to his supervisor, but ultimately did, and I think that's because his supervisor is an abrasive prick. The supervisor wanted to lecture me about it being illegal to have multiple drivers licenses (I don't), and that I had to have proof of residency, and that I had to provide them that proof of residency (absolutely untrue). I cancelled my order. I'd rather pay more than deal with a fraudulent company.

  We are sorry to hear that the customer was unhappy with their experience. In this case we received an order that showed two addresses on the order that were in two different states. The primary address on the account when the order was submitted showed a different state than the address the firearm was being shipped to, which was also a state with restrictions in place. Due to the order being for a handgun and their being multiple states attached to the order we needed to confirm which state the customer was a resident of because as noted above the transfer could not be completed if the customer was not a resident of the state it was being picked up in. We are also an FFL dealer and we needed to confirm this to ensure that the transfer can be completed because we would not incur the cost of processing and shipping the firearm if the firearm would not be able to be transferred. Unfortunately, the customer did not want to provide the information requested so we cancelled the order by request and issued a full refund.

  That's absolutely untrue. The order was being shipped to my FFL in Kansas, and my billing address was also in Kansas, so my order did not reflect two addresses in different states. The addresses in my account that were not in Kansas were from previous orders made over the course of the last 8 years, and none more recent than 2018 when I was stationed at Fort Bragg. This company is soliciting personally identifiable information (PII) in conjunction with normal payment information, creating a high potential for identity theft. Can't believe they have an A+ BBB rating with a 1.44 BBB Customer Rating.

  When an order is submitted there are three addresses that will show on the completed order. It is correct that the delivery address showed as the FFL in Kansas and that the billing address also showed Kansas. However, the order will also show the physical address for the customer, which will come through as the primary address on the account. In this case, that primary address showed a Colorado address when the order was submitted which is what flagged the order. Since the order was for a handgun and it showed two states we requested the customer's ID to confirm that the order would be able to be transferred, this way the firearm would not have to be shipped out and then returned.
