Options for Santa Ana Gun Sellers
Cash for Arms
Cash for Arms gives you a legally safe option as an FFL or federally licensed firearms dealer. We buy guns from all 50 states, often at the best market prices. We also offer free insured shipping from anywhere in California.
You can sell to us without even leaving home. It takes only 3 steps, offering a highly convenient and fuss-free solution for sellers like you.
Local FFLs
Some pawn shops and gun stores in Santa Ana buy used firearms too. Try shops like Ammo Bros at Brookhollow Drive or Fowler Gun Room at Tustin Street in nearby Orange. Try others in nearby areas too, like Tustin, Garden Grove, and Irvine.
They offer a legal option if you like in-person sales. They will typically pay lower prices for used guns, however.
Private Parties
A private party or non-FFL can buy guns in Santa Ana too. However, he should be a resident of California and eligible to possess guns for the sale to be valid.
Private parties give you more flexibility in sales terms than most dealers. They do take the most time and footwork, however. And you have to seek them out first!
Find them at places like gun clubs, e.g. at a gun range in Santa Ana. Evan’s Gun World at North Brian Street in Orange and Firing-Line Indoor Shooting in Huntington Beach may work.

Santa Ana Gun Laws for Sellers
Santa Ana’s firearm laws are easier to deal with when you sell to an FFL like Cash for Arms. This is because we handle the legal parts of the sale on your behalf.
If you’re selling to a private party, you need to provide for these legalities yourself. The notes here summarize how to do so, based on these references:
- Santa Ana Municipal Code Article IX
- California Penal Code Part 6
- California Code of Regulations (CCR)
- ATF California firearm laws compilation
- California concealed-carry laws
- California Attorney General firearm FAQs
- Federal Gun Control Act (GCA)
- National Firearms Act (NFA)
Minimum Age
You can only sell rifles and shotguns to people aged 18 and above in Santa Ana. If you’re selling a handgun, your buyer should be at least 21 (California Penal Code or PC 27510).
Required ID
You can only sell guns in Santa Ana to private buyers who can provide a valid government-issued ID. The easiest option is a local driver’s license (CCR Tit. 11, 4045).
Document of Residency
You can only sell guns in Santa Ana to other residents of California. Ask buyers for proof like recent utility bills or housing leases (CCR Tit. 11, 4045.1).
Private Party Transfer
Also called the PPT, this is how gun ownership is transferred legally in California. You and your buyer can have a local FFL or licensed dealer process it for you for $10 (PC 26500).
Background Check
Private buyers in Santa Ana need to pass a background check to buy guns legally. An FFL can start it if you have your buyer submit a DROS to him (PC 27545).
DROS
This is the Dealer Record of Sale. It’s required for legal gun sales in Santa Ana and starts the background check on buyers. It also costs $37.19 in total (CCR Tit. 11, 4200).

Also called the FSC, this is another requirement for private gun buyers in Santa Ana. They pay $25 to take the test and must pass it. A few people are exempted, like active peace offers (PC 31700).
