- All firearms must ship from a valid FFL dealer. ARES Consulting LLC (dba ARES Arms) will not accept any transfers from private individuals or non-FFL dealers. If a firearm is purchased from a private individual, they must take it to a valid FFL dealer for shipping. This ensures the FFL dealer’s ability to authenticate the sender and package contents. If a package is received from a private individual or non-FFL dealer, it will be refused by ARES Arms and be sent back to the original sender.
