Places to Sell a Gun in Yuma
Cash for Arms
We’re dealers federally licensed to buy guns from all 50 states. We provide top market rates for guns we purchase, ensure a legal and hassle-free sale, and same-day payments.
Just tell us about your gun and accept our offer. We’ll arrange insured shipping (free!) and you can just collect payment the way you want to. We can do direct bank transfers or Zelle, for instance, or even send you a check to your Yuma mailbox.
Local Gun Dealers
These can be either Yuma gun stores like Sprague’s or local pawn shops that buy and sell guns, like USA Pawn & Jewelry. They often make very low offers, but do pay instantly.
Just go to the shop with your gun (make sure it’s unloaded) and offer your gun. Accept the offer if you like it or drive to other shops to get more offers if not.
Private Buyers
These are residents of Yuma or Arizona who aren’t licensed dealers. Remember that you can sell only to eligible people (we’ll provide a list later).
You can find private buyers through Yuma shooting ranges, social media groups, and local ads. Offer them the gun and decide on the sales terms. Exchange payment and the gun at a safe location.

Gun Sale Laws in Yuma and Arizona
Sales of Yuma guns have to follow both Arizona and federal laws. We’ve distilled the key points into notes below.
Prohibited Buyers
Arizona law and the federal Gun Control Act forbid some people from buying guns. Don’t sell to anyone listed in those laws, including these people:
- People with mental disorders, or any person found “to have a persistent or acute disability or grave disability pursuant to court order pursuant to section 36-540”
- People discharged from the Armed Forces dishonorably
- Convicts of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence
- People subject to court orders for harassment
- People who’ve renounced US citizenship
- Adjudicated delinquents for felonies
- Convicts of felonies
- Fugitives from justice
- Illegal aliens
Prohibited Guns
You can’t sell some guns normally in Yuma. Most of these are NFA guns, or guns regulated by the National Firearms Act, which Arizona law reaffirms in some cases.
Here’s a simplified list of the “prohibited weapons” in the state:
- Grenade launchers
- Machine guns
- Rifles with barrel lengths less than 16 inches
- Shotguns with barrel lengths less than 18 inches
- Rifles or shotguns with an overall length less than 26”
- Silencers (even when sold by themselves)
- Fully automatic guns made prior to May 19, 1986
Age Requirements
The age requirement to buy a gun in Yuma is 18 and above for private sales.
ID Requirements
There’s no ID requirement to buy or sell guns in Yuma privately. You can ask your buyer to show an Arizona ID so you can confirm his age and state of residence, however.
Background Checks
Arizona doesn’t mandate buyer background checks for private gun sales, so Yuma doesn’t either.
Waiting Periods
Arizona has no waiting period requirement for private gun sales, so Yuma doesn’t either.
Gun Registration
Arizona doesn’t require gun registration, so Yuma doesn’t either. You can legally sell an unregistered gun in the city.
Gun License
Arizona also doesn’t require gun licenses from gun buyers. You can sell a gun in Yuma to someone without a gun license as long as he’s a legal buyer.
Purchase Permits
Arizona doesn’t require gun buyers to get purchase permits, whether for handguns or long guns. This means you don’t need to ask for one in Yuma gun sales.
Documentation
Only FFLs or federally licensed dealers are required to create documentation of gun sales. As a private seller in Yuma, you’re not required to do it by law.
If you want to make something like a bill of sale or transaction record, it’s possible. It’s just not mandatory.
Locations for Private Gun Sales
You should carry out private gun sales in public places to minimize risk. However, there are places in Yuma with rules on where you can bring weapons.
For example, the Yuma Library is a public space. However, its rules state that guns can’t go further than its weapon lockers. This is why you always have to check the rules of the place beforehand.
Anyway, if you want a simple option, a popular place to do gun sales is the police station. Contact the Yuma Police Department to find out how best to schedule your sale there.
