UncategorizedComments Off on Patriot Pawn & Gun proud to support the 2014 Wyakin Warriors Guardian Ball
Dec172014
Our Wyakin Warriors: Since its inception in 2011, 33 veterans have become Wyakin Warriors.
The 3rd Annual Wyakin Warriors Guardian Ball, held at the Boise Centre on the Grove, was another success. Hundreds of local citizens and veterans attended the black-tie affair to honor our wounded veterans and to raise money for the worthwhile program.
The event raised enough money to put another local wounded military veteran through the Wyakin Warriors program that provides education, leadership training, job training and job placement. The four-year program costs $30,000. Seven new Wyakin Warriors were inducted as the highlight of the evening.
Alex and Amy, of Patriot Pawn & Gun in Star, Meridian and Homedale, attended the ball and donated a “Hunter’s Package” that included a Remington hunting rifle. The live-auction package raised $1,000 for the Wyakin Warriors thanks to a generous donation by the Yarnall’s (owners of four Dutch Bros. franchise locations in the Treasure Valley).
Please consider attending and supporting this worthwhile cause. You can find out more information about Wyakin Warriors here: http://www.wyakin.org
UncategorizedComments Off on Americans support for Gun Rights highest in decades according to Pew Research

Gun Rights Advocate, Dick Heller of DC vs. Heller Supreme Court Case, pictured with Alex and Ashley of Patriot Pawn & Gun.
Support for gun rights is higher than it’s been in decades, according to the latest data from the Pew Research Center that signals a stunning turnaround in how Americans feel about the issue just two years after the Newtown school shooting.
The data shows a surge in support for gun rights as the vast majority of Americans view legal gun ownership as an important part of public safety.
Record gun sales seem to demonstrate that popular sentiment.

Armed response stops gunman 80 seconds into school assault, saves lives.
NRA-ILA, December 20, 2013
Back in March, we reported on Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper (D) signing into law the most sweeping anti-gun legislation in the history of the Centennial State, despite overwhelming opposition to the legislation. The new law bans magazines with a capacity of greater than 15 rounds, imposes a “gun tax” for a background check when purchasing a firearm, and criminalizes the private transfer of a firearm, among other things. The anti-gunners claimed these measures would keep guns out of the hands of bad guys.
Last week’s tragic shooting at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, left one student in critical condition. The perpetrator, a senior at the school, was reported to have randomly shot 17-year-old Claire Davis as she sat innocently in the hallway. As bad as that was, things could have been much worse.
Information released this week indicates that the perpetrator was planning a much larger attack and was armed with a shotgun, about 125 rounds of ammunition, three Molotov cocktails and a machete.
According to a CNNstory, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said of the shooter, “His intent was evil, and his evil intent was to harm multiple individuals.”
On his arm, the perpetrator had written in indelible ink five classroom numbers and a phrase in Latin that translates to “the die has been cast,” according to the sheriff’s office.
But as reported in the Washington Times, the attacker’s mission was stopped short by the quick response of an armed deputy sheriff who was working as a resource officer at the school. Upon learning of the threat, the deputy ran from the cafeteria to the library, yelling for people to get down and identifying himself as a deputy sheriff. The horrific incident lasted only a total of 80 seconds and ended with the shooter turning his gun on himself in the library as the deputy was closing in on him.
“We know for a fact that the shooter knew that the deputy was in the immediate area and, while the deputy was containing the shooter, the shooter took his own life,” Sheriff Robinson said. Robinson said the deputy’s response was “a critical element to the shooter’s decision” to kill himself.
UncategorizedComments Off on Gun / Firearm Incoming/Receiving Transfers in Meridian, Star, Eagle and Boise / Treasure Valley Idaho area only $25
Jan192012
We want to be your source for Firearm Transfers / Gun Transfers.
Patriot Pawn & Gun LLC is located in Star, Idaho and we will receive your Incoming Firearm Transfer / Gun Transfer for $25 per Firearm Received.
For Outgoing/Sending Transfers the price is higher. We will quote you a price based on the Receiving FFL Dealer’s zip code, weight and size of Firearm, labor and materials for packaging and shipping cost.
WE WILL ONLY RECEIVE TRANSFERS FROM OTHER FFL LICENSED GUN DEALERS. IF YOU ARE PURCHASING FROM A PRIVATE PARTY ONLINE, WE WILL ONLY RECEIVE THE TRANSFER IF THEY USE AN FFL LICENSED DEALER TO TRANSFER THE FIREARM TO US.
Here’s how the process works: If you are ordering a gun / firearm on the internet, our FFL (Federal Firearm’s License) information may already be registered with the particular gun retailer’s or gun auction’s website or online store. If not, please contact us via phone or email and give us the contact information for the FFL Licensed Gun Dealer you are purchasing and receiving the Firearm from, their email address, your name and phone number and your order number. We will send a File Copy of our FFL License via email directly to the sending FFL Dealer. We will remind them to include a File Copy of their FFL License in the shipment of your order and we will ask them to include your name and phone number so we know who to contact when the gun / firearm arrives.
For Outgoing FFL Transfers, please give us the contact information of the FFL Dealer you are requesting us to send the gun / firearm to, as well as the intended Transferee. We will require the Receiving FFL Dealer to send us a File Copy of their FFL License (which will include their ship to address) and we will include a File Copy of our FFL License in the shipment to them. We only transfer / ship to FFL Licensed Dealers. Please contact us first to receive a quote for your outgoing/sending transfer. Cost factors include the zip code of the receiving FFL Dealer, the size and weight of the shipment and the labor and materials of the packaging required. Typically, Outgoing/sending transfers of a Handgun range from $70.00 to $75.00 per Hand Gun, including paperwork processing, labor and materials for packaging, delivery to shipper and shipping. Typically, Outgoing/sending transfers of Long Guns (Rifles and Shotguns) range from $105.00 to $135.00 including paperwork processing, labor and materials for packaging, delivery to shipper and shipping. Again, please contact us for a custom quote as prices on Outgoing/sending Transfers do vary.
If you are purchasing a Firearm from an Online FFL Licensed Dealer and/or are receiving a Firearm from an FFL Licensed Dealer and you want to use Patriot Pawn & Gun LLC to receive your Firearm / Gun Transfer, you will have to go through the normal legal Transfer process to receive the gun /firearm. When the Firearm arrives and you come to pick it up at our store, you will be required to fill out a Form 4473 and present a current government issued picture/photo identification with your name and current Idaho address on it. If your state issued identification or driver’s license does not have your current Idaho physical address, you will be required to submit a secondary form of government issued document that includes your name and current Idaho physical address. The most popular secondary forms of identification that the Government accepts are a State issued Idaho Vehicle Registration or Idaho Fish and Game license.
If you have a current Idaho Concealed Weapon’s License, you are not required to be called into the FBI NICS Background Check System. The information from your valid Idaho Concealed Weapon’s license is recorded on the form 4473 and assuming you have satisfied the Government issued photo/ID and Idaho Proof of Address requirements, you can receive Transfer of your Firearm.
For those who don’t have the Idaho CWL, we are required to call your name and your information into the FBI NICS Background Check System. Within an average of 15-20 minutes, upon completion of the FBI NICS Background Check process, after relaying all the information to the Government that is collected and recorded on your completed Form 4473, the Government will provide your NTN NICS Transaction Number and a result of your FBI NICS Background Check as either a Proceed, Delayed or Denied. If you get a Proceed status, you may receive your Firearm Transfer and leave with your Firearm / Gun. If you get a Delayed Status, the Government provides you with a Brady Date which is a 5 day hold from the date of your FBI NICS call-in. The Brady Law does not prohibit the Transfer of your Firearm once your Brady Date is reached, and the Government may call back with a Proceed before the Brady Date has been achieved. If you receive a Denied Status, the Transfer is halted and does not proceed. If you believe your Denial to be a false positive and a mistake, we provide you with information on the process to Appeal your Denial. Denials are very rare, because if you know you are prohibited from possessing a firearm and you attempt to receive a firearm, you can face serious criminal charges.
