What you should know about buying and selling pawn guns

If you’re looking to sell specifically, there are certain things you should know beforehand. Make sure the gun you’re attempting to sell or pawn is appropriate for your age. In Utah you must be over 18 to purchase a rifle or shotgun, and over the age of 21 to purchase a handgun. Bring proper ID with you to the pawnshop so our pawnbroker can identify your age, and be willing and prepared to undergo a full background check prior to any transaction, whether you’re selling or buying.

Purchasing a firearm as a gift is perfectly legal in Utah, but there is a difference between purchasing a gun as a gift, and just purchasing a gun for someone else. The difference here lies in the intent. If your brother hands you some cash and asks you to buy him a specific gun, this would be considered a “Straw Man Sale” or Straw Purchase. Buying a firearm in this manner is a federal felony and carries a penalty of 10 years in jail, and a fine of up to $250,000.00.

Guns and ammo hold their value for a long time compared to many other items of interest. Depending on your piece, the value can vary. The condition, rarity, and even popularity of your item can influence the amount a pawn broker is willing to purchase your firearm for. If you’d like to have an appraisal done on your weapon to determine what it’s worth, feel free to stop by or give us a call. Take note of proper firearm handling safety and etiquette. When you bring your gun into the shop we ask that you have it unloaded, and preferably in a carrying case or safe.


Maybe you’ve bought a new rifle for Christmas, or you have extra boxes of ammunition. You can pawn any of your rifles and ammunition for a loan or sell items to us directly and get cash fast. New items arrive in our stores daily. What may not be there today could come in tomorrow. Rifles and ammunition will often pass through quickly and will only last a short while on our shelves before being bought.
