If you reserved a firearm online at sportsmans.com while living in Pennsylvania, you were part of this wiretap-privacy settlement — but the claim deadline has now passed.
What Is the Sportsman's Warehouse Class Action Settlement About?
Did you reserve a firearm online at sportsmans.com for in-store pickup while living in Pennsylvania? You may be entitled to a cash payment of up to $107.00 under the proposed Sportsman's Warehouse class action settlement, which resolves claims that Sportsman's Warehouse disclosed information about online firearm reservations to third parties without consent. Below is a plain-English guide to how the Sportsman's Warehouse settlement works, who qualifies, how much you can get, and how to file your claim before the June 19, 2026 deadline.The lawsuit, captioned Petris v. Sportsman's Warehouse, Inc., et al., Case No. 25-CV-06320, is pending before the Honorable Brandon P. Neuman in the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County, Pennsylvania. Class Representative Adam Petris alleged that Sportsman's Warehouse, Inc. and Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. shared information tied to online firearm purchases on sportsmans.com with third parties through the website, in violation of the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act, 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5701 et seq. (WESCA), and the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act, 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 6111(i) (UFA).
Sportsman's Warehouse denies all allegations, denies any wrongdoing or liability, and maintains that it complied with the law at all times. The court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle to avoid the cost, distraction, and uncertainty of continued litigation.

Why a Pennsylvania Firearm Privacy Case Is Different from a Typical Website Pixel Lawsuit
Most website tracking class actions involve generic e-commerce, healthcare, or streaming sites where the harm is framed in broad privacy terms. A Pennsylvania firearm reservation case is a different category because the underlying transaction sits at the intersection of two unusually protective statutes: WESCA, which treats the interception of electronic communications as a strict-liability wiretap problem, and the Uniform Firearms Act, which contains a specific confidentiality provision (Section 6111(i)) restricting the disclosure of firearm purchase records.That distinction matters for class members in two practical ways. First, the per-person settlement value here (up to $107.00) is meaningfully higher than the $5 to $25 typical of website-pixel settlements, because Pennsylvania law recognizes a discrete statutory injury for both wiretap violations and firearm-record disclosures, and the parties priced the settlement against that exposure. Second, the class is geographically and behaviorally narrow: only Pennsylvania residents who specifically reserved a firearm online at sportsmans.com for in-store pickup during a defined four-year window. People outside that window, outside Pennsylvania, or who only browsed the site without reserving a firearm are not covered.
30-Second Self-Test: Did You Reserve a Firearm at Sportsman's Warehouse?
You likely qualify if all of the following are true:• You lived in Pennsylvania at the time of the online reservation.
• You ordered and reserved a firearm online from sportsmans.com.
• The reservation was for purchase to be completed in-store (not shipped).
• The order took place between January 1, 2020 and March 13, 2024.
• You are willing to attest under penalty of perjury that the above is accurate.
If you can answer yes to all five, you appear to fit the Settlement Class definition and can submit a claim.
