What is a Straw Purchase?
A straw purchase occurs when someone buys a firearm on behalf of another person — often someone prohibited from buying or attempting to avoid a background check. It’s a serious federal offense with dangerous implications for public safety.
A Smarter, Safer Approach
Traditional awareness campaigns rely on employee intuition and general education. But in today’s environment, these outdated methods aren’t enough to detect or prevent illegal activity.
StrawScore provides FFLs with a privacy-conscious, data-informed tool that helps identify high-risk transactions. It replaces guesswork with clear, objective insights — empowering dealers to make confident, responsible decisions without relying on surveillance or government intervention.
How StrawScore Works
Localized Data, Community Insight
Each participating FFL contributes data, creating a collaborative safety network that benefits all members.
Respectful Use of Personal Data
Data is used only short-term to help FFLs assess high-risk transactions, never shared with government agencies, not stored long-term, and securely deleted after use.
Real-Time Risk Scoring
StrawScore does not approve or deny firearm sales; it provides a data-driven risk indicator based on transaction factors. The FFL always makes the final decision on how to proceed.
Shared Intelligence
Dealers stay in control while benefiting from broader pattern recognition across locations. Insights are shared among participating FFLs, not with outside entities.
Built by and for the Firearms Industry
A faster, smarter, and privacy-preserving way to strengthen public safety — empowering FFLs as active, trusted partners in preventing straw purchases.
