Compliance
Piece & Quiet Market is a marketplace that connects buyers with sellers and routes every transfer through licensed firearms dealers — it isn’t a dealer itself. Compliance is built into how the platform works, but the sellers, the dealers who handle the transfer, and you, the buyer, carry the legal responsibilities. Here’s how the pieces fit together.
How the platform is built for compliance
Verified sellers
A dealer cannot list until their FFL and SOT are matched against the ATF's published licence file, and we recheck monthly. Private sellers list items they already lawfully own. Either way, a seller never hands you the item directly.
Every sale runs through ATF Form 4
There are no off-paper transfers. The item moves between licensed dealers, and you complete a Form 4 — including a background check and federal registration — before you can take possession.
Restricted jurisdictions are blocked
Checkout will not send an item to a jurisdiction where civilian ownership is prohibited.
We hold neither funds nor items
Payment is processed by our partner GunTab, which acts as agent of the seller. Piece & Quiet Market never takes possession of an item and never holds your money.
Licensed professionals complete the regulated steps
Your receiving dealer runs the background check and will not release an item that is not lawful where you are.
Where responsibility sits
To be clear about what the platform does and doesn’t do: we facilitate the connection and the workflow, but we don’t guarantee that any particular transaction will be approved or is legal in your situation. Sellers are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their listings. You’re responsible for confirming you can legally own and use a suppressor where you live, and for providing accurate information to your receiving FFL and the ATF.
Reporting a concern
If you believe a listing or seller isn’t compliant, email us at contact@pieceandquietmarket.comand we’ll review it.
