McNeal & Co LLC, doing business as Armed Gun Barn ("we," "us," or "our"), operates armedgunbarn.com (the "Website"). This policy explains what information we collect through the Website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.
This policy applies only to information collected through the Website. It does not cover information collected in person at our store or through the paperwork required for firearm transactions. Records for firearm transfers and sales are created and kept as required by federal and state law, and they are handled separately from this policy.
By using the Website, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, our service providers and we may automatically collect technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the website that referred you to us. We use this to understand how the Website is used and to keep it secure.
IP addresses and similar identifiers can be personal information, and we treat them that way.
Payment information. Payments are processed by our payment processor, Authorize.net. We do not see or store your full credit card number on our servers.
Please do not send us sensitive documents or identifying details, such as your Social Security number, driver's license, or firearm transaction paperwork, through the Website's contact forms or by regular email unless we have specifically asked you to through a secure method.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process and deliver orders, layaway payments, and class registrations.
- Verify transactions and prevent fraud.
- Respond to your questions and requests.
- Send transactional messages, such as order confirmations and class reminders.
- Send marketing emails, only if you have signed up and only until you unsubscribe.
- Operate, secure, and improve the Website, including measuring traffic and understanding which content is useful.
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
We will not use your personal information for a materially different purpose than the ones described here without updating this policy first and, where the law requires it, getting your consent.
Cookies and similar technologies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags. Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Website working, remember your preferences, and measure site traffic.

How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these situations:
- Service providers. We share information with companies that help us run the Website and our business, such as payment processing (Authorize.net), shipping carriers, website hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- Legal reasons. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that it is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others. This can include disclosures to law enforcement or federal and state agencies.
- With your consent. We may share information for other purposes if you agree to it.
Other websites and social media
The Website links to other sites, including our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and our trailer rental site at mcnealandco.shop. We do not control those sites, and this policy does not apply to them. Please read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to complete transactions, resolve disputes, keep business and tax records, and meet legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. These include SSL/TLS encryption on the Website, restricted access to customer records, and use of a PCI-compliant payment processor. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affects your information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.

- Ask what personal information we hold about you from the Website.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law, such as in Texas or California. If you believe you have such rights, contact us, and we will handle your request as the law requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell my personal information to third parties?
No. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your information is only shared with service providers necessary to process orders (payment processors, shipping carriers) and with FFL dealers as required by law for firearm transfers.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. All payment processing is handled by a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission. We never store your full credit card number on our servers.
Can I delete my account and personal data?
You may request deletion of your account by emailing kori@armedgunbarn.com. However, federal firearms regulations (ATF) require us to maintain transaction records for firearm purchases for 20 years. Non-firearm purchase data and account information can be deleted upon request.
Why do you share my information with FFL dealers?
Federal law requires all firearm purchases to be completed through a licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer. When you buy a firearm, we must share your name, contact information, and order details with the FFL dealer you selected to complete the legally required background check and transfer process.
How can I opt out of marketing emails?
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email, or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings. Note: You will still receive transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping notifications) as these are necessary for your purchases.
