- Semiautomatic pistols and revolvers
- Hunting and sporting rifles
- Modern sporting rifles in legal configurations
- Pump-action and semiautomatic shotguns
- Vintage and collectible firearms
- Estate firearms when the seller has legal authority

Modified, incomplete, damaged or specially regulated firearms require additional review. Calling ahead with the manufacturer, model and condition can save you a trip.
Can You Pawn a Suppressor in Florida?
Yes. Dixie Pawn & Jewelry holds a Special Occupational Taxpayer license and offers pawn loans on eligible suppressors at our Hollywood, Florida location.
The suppressor must be lawfully possessed, and the person pawning it must have the legal authority to complete the transaction. Bring valid government-issued photo identification and any documentation you have for the suppressor.
Suppressors remain firearms under the federal Gun Control Act. Required records, ATF Form 4473 and a background check must be completed before a pawned suppressor can be returned. Eligibility and procedures are reviewed at the time of the transaction because federal requirements can change.
How to Pawn or Sell Your Gun at Dixie Pawn
- 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.
