June 24th, 2026 – Baldwin City, KS
Free State Firearms, LLC, a Kansas-based manufacturer at the forefront of firearm safety technology, today announced the launch of its direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform at freestatefirearms.co. The platform, which went live this week, enables consumers nationwide to purchase its User Authentication Firearms (UAFs) — RFID-enabled firearms engineered to prevent discharge by unauthorized users—directly from the manufacturer. The company has already recorded its first sale.
User Authentication Firearms represent a significant advancement in responsible firearm ownership. Unlike conventional firearms, UAFs incorporate technology that restrict operation to verified, authorized users—providing a meaningful safeguard against accidental discharge, theft-related misuse, and unauthorized access by children.
““We built Free State Firearms around a simple conviction: innovation and responsibility aren’t at odds—they’re the same mission,” said Tom Holland, President of Free State Firearms. “Launching this platform means that consumers across the country can now access firearms that are not only reliable but provide consumer safety options. Our first sale isn’t just a business milestone; it’s proof that the market is ready for this technology.”
The e-commerce launch marks a pivotal step in the company’s mission to bring next-generation firearm safety technology to mainstream consumers. The platform facilitates fully compliant transactions, with all purchases transferring through federally licensed FFL dealers in accordance with applicable federal and state law.
Free State Firearms has also been engaged in an ongoing public awareness initiative aimed at educating law enforcement leadership and municipal decision-makers about the liability and safety implications of UAF technology—an effort that continues alongside today’s consumer-facing launch.
