Gun Show Software for FFL Dealers
The only FFL software with a dedicated gun show mode. Pack, sell, and reconcile at any show — with or without internet — and drive home with a bound book that already matches your trailer.
Why gun shows break normal FFL software
Most FFL platforms assume you are standing behind your own counter on your own Wi-Fi. A gun show gives you none of that: spotty connectivity, off-premises 4473 rules, inventory split between the shop and the table, and a Sunday-night reconciliation that eats your Monday. Cloud-only bound books simply stop working when the venue’s network does — and the ATF does not accept “the Wi-Fi went down” as a records answer.
What Gun Show BRO does differently
Offline-first by design
Gun Show BRO keeps working with zero connectivity. Sales, dispositions, and container movements are captured locally and sync back to your FFL-BRO bound book the moment you are online again — no double entry, no paper stopgaps.
Container tracking with QR codes
Every case, tote, and trailer gets a QR-coded container manifest. Scan items in when you pack, scan out when you sell, scan the rest back in when you load up. What left the shop, what sold, and what came home is a report — not a recount.
Automatic reconciliation
Back at the shop, Gun Show BRO reconciles the show automatically against your A&D book: acquisitions, dispositions, and anything unaccounted for is flagged before it becomes an audit finding.
Show-ready compliance
Off-premises sales still mean full 4473 and NICS workflow. Gun Show BRO runs the same compliant process your shop uses, from any table, on ordinary hardware.
ATF compliance at gun shows
Manifests, off-premises 4473s, and multi-day show record-keeping have specific expectations. Our guide to ATF compliance at gun shows and the pack-sell-reconcile checklist cover the rules; Gun Show BRO turns them into a workflow you cannot accidentally skip.
Pricing
Gun Show BRO is $149/month standalone, or included with FFL-BRO PRO ($249/mo) alongside POS, range, and training modules. Every plan includes the electronic bound book and digital 4473 — see full pricing.
How it compares
No other FFL platform markets an offline gun-show workflow. Compliance-first tools (FastBound, Orchid, FFL Boss) assume you are online; POS suites (Bravo, AXIS, Celerant) assume you are in a store. If gun shows are part of your business, this is the one capability you cannot bolt on later.
Gun show software FAQ
Does Gun Show BRO work without internet?
Yes. Offline capture is the core design: sales, 4473 workflow, and container scans are stored locally and synced to your bound book automatically when connectivity returns.
How do 4473s work at a gun show?
The same compliant digital workflow you use in the shop, run from your table. Off-premises transactions are flagged as show sales so your records show where each disposition happened.
What happens when I get back to the shop?
Automatic reconciliation. Gun Show BRO compares the show’s container manifests against actual dispositions and your A&D book, and flags anything unaccounted for immediately.
Do I need the full FFL-BRO suite to use it?
No. Gun Show BRO works standalone at $149/mo. It shines brightest connected to the full platform, where show sales flow straight into your bound book, CRM, and inventory.
What hardware do I need at the table?
A laptop or tablet with a camera (for QR scanning). No proprietary terminals, no card-reader lock-in.
