GunNook FFL Directory and Shooting Range Finder. Here Is What We Are Building
We are in beta and growing fast. Here is a full look at everything coming your way.



We have been heads down building something different here at GunNook. Not just another list of names and addresses, but a real tool that puts FFL dealers and shooting ranges front and center in the communities they serve. We are still in beta and actively developing, but the foundation is solid and the features are taking shape fast.

We already have 15,297 FFL dealers loaded into the directory across Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia with more states and more listings being added every single day. Shooting ranges are in there too and that list is growing as well. You can track exactly how many dealers and ranges we have in each state in real time on our Directory Stats page it updates live straight from the database so the numbers you see are always current.

Here is a full look at how it works, what is included for everyone, and what dealers who want to take it to the next level can get.



A Homepage That Actually Does Something

Most directories dump you on a static page and leave you there. Ours does not work that way.

When you land on the GunNook FFL homepage and enter your ZIP code, the entire page comes alive around your location. The map centers on your area, nearby Preferred FFL dealers and shooting ranges within 50 miles populate instantly, and a featured dealer and range are displayed front and center.

But that is only part of it. The homepage also pulls in two live news feeds that update automatically every day.

The National Gun and FFL News feed pulls the latest stories from top firearms news sources so you always have a pulse on what is happening nationally. New legislation, product releases, industry news it is all there and it refreshes on its own.

The State News and Laws feed is where it gets really useful. Based on your ZIP code, the homepage automatically identifies your state and pulls in the latest gun laws, legislation, and news specific to where you live. You are not reading about California gun laws when you are in Texas. You are seeing exactly what matters in your state, updated daily, without having to search for it.

No account needed. No setup. Just enter your ZIP and the homepage builds itself around you.



What Every Listing Gets Free

Every FFL dealer and shooting range in the directory gets a full profile page. Not a bare-bones listing. An actual page with everything a customer needs before they walk through your door that you control and edit in real time.

  • Business name, full address, phone, website, and email
  • Hours listed by day of the week
  • Transfer fee displayed clearly
  • FFL license type
  • Services tags so people know exactly what you offer
  • Message Owner button so customers can reach you directly

Search by ZIP, browse the map, find dealers and ranges in your area. Simple, fast, and clean.



Preferred Listings: Built for Dealers Who Want to Stand Out

Free listings are the foundation. Preferred is where we give dealers the tools to actually connect with customers and dominate their local market.

For just $4.75 a month less than a cup of coffee here is everything you get.
No contracts. Cancel any time.

Everything that comes with a free listing, plus:

  • Your card listed above every other dealer in a 50 mile radius
  • Featured placement on the homepage
  • Hero banner image on your profile page
  • Special offer section you control and update any time
  • Interactive Google Map and Street View on your profile page
  • A dedicated forum thread tied directly to your listing for customer engagement and community discussion

Here is the full breakdown of each feature.



Your Card Listed First Above Every Other Dealer

When someone searches by ZIP code, Preferred dealers appear at the top of the results above all regular listings within a 50 mile radius. Your card stands out with the Preferred badge and your custom image while everyone else is below you. This is visibility that a plain directory listing simply cannot give you.



Featured Placement on the Homepage

MAINPAGE-PL-S.webp

Preferred dealers get featured on the GunNook FFL homepage. The first thing every visitor sees when they land on the directory is your banner, your name, and your location right at the top. You also appear in the Preferred FFL Dealers quick list that populates every time someone enters their ZIP code anywhere on the site.



A Full Profile Page Built to Impress

Page-s.webp

Your profile page is a full storefront and here is everything on it.

Hero Banner displayed large and bold at the top of your page at 972x220 pixels. Make a first impression that sticks.

Special Offer Section where you can promote an item with a photo, price, and sale end date. Or run a text based announcement. You control it completely and you can change it any time without waiting on anyone.

Public Discussions which is a dedicated forum thread tied directly to your listing. Customers can ask questions, leave feedback, and engage with you publicly. It is real community interaction built right into your page.

Interactive Google Map and Street View so customers see exactly where you are and what your building looks like before they ever walk in the door. While every listing shows your address, Preferred dealers get a full interactive map and Street View built right into their page.



What Is Coming in Phase 2

We are actively developing the next phase right now. Here is what is on the way.

  • Local concealed carry laws and gun laws pulled automatically based on your state
  • Local events near you ✅
  • Even more tools for Preferred dealers to connect with customers in their area



We Want Your Input

We are in beta and your feedback right now shapes what this becomes. If you are an FFL dealer or range owner, get your listing in early. If you are a member, tell us what you want to see. Every suggestion matters at this stage.


Drop your questions and feedback below. We are reading every reply.
