How buying a firearm works for Pasadena residents
Because we are a California dealer, Pasadena customers complete the whole purchase with us in San Dimas. Plan on two short trips:
- Visit 1: choose your firearm (or order it online first), show your Firearm Safety Certificate and ID, and start your DROS background check. Bring proof of residency for a handgun.
- Visit 2: at least 10 days later, complete the safe handling demonstration and take it home.
Ammunition works differently in California: order online or in person and pick it up at the store after the state eligibility check. Bought a firearm somewhere else? We handle local transfers too. Full details are on our California Buyers page.
Questions from Pasadena customers

Two visits are required for any California firearm purchase, so we make each one count. Send us a message ahead of time and we will have your options ready.
Can I order online first?
Yes. Order online and choose our store, then come in to start your DROS.
