What We Don’t Accept

While we accept many types of firearms, there are some restrictions you should be aware of:

  • No Pistols with Braces: Due to regulatory issues, we do not accept pistols equipped with stabilizing braces.
  • No Suppressors: We do not pawn or accept firearms that have suppressors attached.

Make sure to check your firearm before bringing it in to ensure it meets these requirements.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we move into 2025, we anticipate continued growth in the Florida firearms market, with a steady interest in both modern and classic firearms. Although local and federal regulations can evolve, Florida’s basic guidelines regarding firearm transactions remain relatively consistent. Our team stays informed about any potential changes so that you can confidently pawn or sell your firearms at Dixie Pawn & Jewelry.

How to Pawn or Sell Your Gun at Dixie Pawn

Our process for pawning or selling firearms is simple and secure. Whether you need a loan or want to sell your firearm outright, here’s what you’ll need:
  • Valid Photo ID: You must bring a government-issued ID to pawn or sell a firearm. This is required to ensure all transactions comply with federal and state regulations.
  • FDLE Background Check (For Pawn Loans): If you’re pawning a firearm, you’ll need to pass a background check by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to retrieve it after the loan. This ensures the gun is returned to someone legally allowed to own it.
  • Ownership Requirement: Only the legal owner of a firearm can pawn or sell it. Under Florida law, you cannot pawn a gun on behalf of someone else. Ensure the firearm is legally yours before bringing it in.

Frequently Asked Questions (2025 Edition)

1. How do pawnshops determine a gun’s value?

Answer: Pawnshops generally look at brand, model, condition, and the current market demand. We also consider any extras, such as original boxes, accessories, or special finishes. At Dixie Pawn & Jewelry, our staff stays updated on firearm trends, so you’ll receive a fair, data-driven appraisal.
 

2. Do pawnshops do payment plans on guns?

Answer: Many pawnshops (including ours) offer a layaway program that allows you to pay off a firearm in installments before taking it home. For those who want quick cash but still want the option to reclaim their firearm, pawning is a short-term loan solution. You bring in your gun as collateral and, once you repay the loan plus any fees, your firearm is returned to you.
 

3. Does a gun have to be registered in your name to pawn?

Answer: In Florida, there’s no universal gun-registration requirement like in some other states. However, you must be the legal owner allowed to pawn it (i.e., it can’t be stolen or borrowed) and you must pass a background check when reclaiming or purchasing a firearm. This ensures the transaction remains legal and transparent.

4. What if my firearm is missing certain parts or accessories?

Answer: We can still provide an appraisal, but missing parts or accessories may reduce your firearm’s overall value. If you have spare magazines, scopes, or the original box, bring them in to maximize your offer.
 

5. Do I need to provide any paperwork to sell or pawn my gun?

Answer: You’ll need a valid, government-issued photo ID. Beyond that, we’ll handle the required background checks and keep a record of your transaction. Even though Florida doesn’t mandate a registration, we still follow all federal and state guidelines to ensure a lawful transfer.

 

6. Is there a waiting period if I decide to buy my gun back?

Answer: Florida law requires a waiting period for certain firearm purchases, but it varies based on local ordinances and whether you have a valid Florida concealed carry permit. If you’re pawning and later reclaiming your gun, you’ll be subject to the appropriate background check before the item is returned to you, but the waiting period may not apply in the same way it does for a new purchase.
 

7. Can I pawn multiple firearms at once?

Answer: Yes. If you have more than one firearm, simply bring them in for an on-site appraisal. We’ll evaluate each piece individually, and you can choose to pawn one, a few, or all of them based on your financial needs.
 

8. How often should I check gun laws for changes?

Answer: We recommend staying informed periodically—especially as we approach and move through 2025, when local or national discussions around firearms can sometimes shift policies. You can also rely on Dixie Pawn & Jewelry for any updates regarding Florida-specific regulations or pawnshop requirements.
