Community Behavior
Be Respectful
Treat all community members with respect. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, and personal attacks are not tolerated.
Honest Listings
Accurately describe all items for sale. Include clear photos, true condition ratings, and disclose any defects or modifications. Misrepresenting items will result in account suspension.
Legal Compliance
All transactions must comply with California and federal firearms laws. Transfers must go through a licensed FFL dealer. Both buyers and sellers are responsible for ensuring legal compliance.
No Straw Purchases
It is a federal felony to purchase a firearm on behalf of another person who is prohibited from owning one. CalGunHub cooperates with law enforcement on all suspected straw purchase activity.
Safe Communication
Keep all transaction discussions on the CalGunHub platform. Do not share personal contact information (phone, address) until a transaction is confirmed and an FFL is selected.
Price Integrity
Set fair, reasonable prices. Price gouging during emergencies or shortages violates our terms and California consumer protection laws.
No Spam or Scams
Do not post duplicate listings, misleading content, or phishing attempts. Accounts engaging in scam activity are permanently banned and reported to authorities.
