Hi ya'll. First time buyer of two handguns here. I recently panic-purchased one handgun in person at a local gun store, and also panic-ordered another one online from Gotenda. I was told that the CFO would email me for the transfer process or something when I was at the gunstore. I take it it's the same process for an online purchase? I'd like to make sure I'm not missing anything here. Was I suppose to do paperwork after putting a deposit whether you buy in person or online, or is it just a waiting game for the CFO to mail or e-mail me? Or did I just answer my own question? Any correct answers would be much appreciated. Thank you.

The retailer should email you the transfer reference number. The CFO will email you in six months with the completed transfer.
