I purchased it at the gun shop but one of the employees was selling it himself

Yes, you can deduct the cost of the firearm purchased. You should keep documentation of the purchase for your tax records. This purchase would be included in Employment Expenses in Turbo Tax.

I did receive a copy of dealers record of sale of firearm however there's no amount of how much I paid. Should I request something from the gun shop? And would I deduct the transfer and DOJ fees as well?
