Prices higher than other places but they excel in getting a gun in quickly that's not on hand. Very good selection of firearms in stock and a good supply of ammunition. Staff is very friendly.

Shift

Sep 19, 2022

Update 9/18- I was able to address contact one of the management of the store and he responded moments after the I sent the email out. The response was genuine and heart felt with a commitment to take the necessary actions needed to improve customer experience and maintain the stores overall "cool" environment. I appreciate Mr. Monson (the store's owner) and look forward to the seeing the changes as I continue to do business there. Update 9/17 (Customer Service is great except the cussing): I went in today to train at the gun range and as always the employees were superb in getting things setup and answering questions. The only problem that I have is unrestrained and evident unconcern of their conversations in front of customers. Contrary to popular belief everybody doesn't want to here S word this, F word that, using the name of Jesus Christ to express disgust or strong emotion. One of the perks of doing business online not having to deal directly with people, which is actually a perk of shopping locally (relationship building). I hope that this post is seen by the management of Circle Pines, discussed, and rectified. Being that it was my first time going in to a locally owned gun shop I had plenty nerves and thoughts about how things would turn out. To keep it short, this was an awesome experience. All the staff was down to earth. I didn't feel judged or looked down upon, they also didn't talk down to me. As I explained the level of my firearm knowledge, they took out the time to make sure I was well informed before I left the shop, with one of the staff even taking out the time to show me on the spot how to field strip, clean, lubricate, and re-assemble one. Transactions were straight to the point, clearly communicated and friendly without any up-sale jargon or pressures. I will re-iterate they are down to earth people who are were there to simply and professionally help other people. Bills Gun range has earned my business. (Told you I would keep it short). PS I am brown skin man, so for me, this really was an A1 experience. IJS

10 and above with parent. 18 to shoot by yourself and rent firearms. However you need a permit to purchase (free through your county sheriff's office), conceal carry (age 21 required to attain) or bring a buddy with to rent guns. Under 18 requires parents permission youth waiver, which can be found on the website and filled out. If they're not coming with their parents and the acting guardian is over 18.

William B | Sep 30, 2019

It depends on which state. Some states they do not (California being one) They charge 60$ for a handgun and 80$ for a long gun. Must ship to another FFL in the state it's being sent to.

I think the answer is not as clear as one might think . look into black powder laws and you might be surprised . This is not legal advise and I'm not a lawyer I'm not a felon and do not own any plack powder weaponry . Check your specific local laws is all I'm saying.
