Navigating a Risk Protection Order (RPO) can be an overwhelming experience, especially when it involves the surrender or confiscation of your firearms. At Swamp Yankee Arms, we understand the stress that comes with these situations and are here to make the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Our goal is to handle all the details for you so that you can focus on restoring your rights.
Step 1: Contact Us
The first step is to reach out to us via phone or email at sales@swampyankeearms.com. We'll walk you through the process, answer any questions, and schedule a time for you to visit our shop.
Step 2: Schedule and Perform the Transfer
When you visit our shop, we’ll help you complete the necessary DPS-3 transfer paperwork, which legally transfers the firearms from you to Swamp Yankee Arms. This ensures that your firearms are securely accounted for and that you remain in compliance with the law.
Step 3: We Handle the Retrieval
Once the transfer paperwork is completed, we’ll contact the law enforcement agency holding your firearms and schedule a pickup. Our strong working relationships with local agencies make this process efficient—many have complimented us as being the easiest to work with.
Step 4: Determine Storage Fees
After retrieving your firearms, we’ll assess storage fees based on the number of firearms, storage duration, and retrieval logistics, including distance and time. There is no transfer fee for bringing the firearms into our possession, but retrieval fees will apply.
Step 5: Choose What Happens Next
Once your firearms are safely stored at Swamp Yankee Arms, you have options. You can:
- Maintain them in secure storage for as long as needed.
- Transfer them to a trusted friend or family member who can legally take possession.
- Sell them to cover legal fees or to minimize financial losses.
Whatever you decide, we’ll handle the logistics to ensure a seamless transition.
