What Is the Sportsman’s Warehouse Lawsuit About? Petris v. Sportsman’s Warehouse, Inc., et al., No. 25-CV-06320

Plaintiff Adam Petris filed this class action against Sportsman’s Warehouse, Inc. and Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc., alleging that the company disclosed sensitive information about online firearm purchases to third parties without customer knowledge or consent. Specifically, the lawsuit claims this data-sharing violated two Pennsylvania statutes: the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act (WESCA), 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5701, et seq., and the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act (UFA), 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 6111(i). The UFA specifically prohibits the unlicensed transfer of personally identifiable information related to firearm purchases — making this case significant for firearm buyers’ privacy rights in Pennsylvania.

When customers visited sportsmans.com and reserved a firearm online for in-store pickup, their transaction data was allegedly transmitted to external parties without their authorization. This sharing of firearm purchase data is especially sensitive because it implicates both general consumer privacy rights and state-level protections specific to gun purchasers. Consumers had no way to know their purchase information was being disclosed, and they did not consent to that disclosure.

The case was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County, Pennsylvania, and class counsel is Philip L. Fraietta and Stephen A. Beck of Bursor & Fisher, P.A. Sportsman’s Warehouse denies all allegations, denies any wrongdoing or liability, and maintains it complied with the law at all times. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

Who Is Eligible for the Sportsman’s Warehouse Settlement?

You may qualify if you resided in Pennsylvania at the time of your purchase.

You may qualify if you ordered and reserved a firearm on www.sportsmans.com — not in-store, but through the website’s online reservation system.

You may qualify if your online firearm reservation was for in-store pickup and completion of purchase (not a fully online transaction).

You may qualify if your reservation occurred between January 1, 2020, and March 13, 2024, inclusive.

You may not qualify if you are an individual or entity excluded under the settlement agreement, including the defendants, their officers and directors, and members of the Court’s immediate family.

To file a claim, you must attest under penalty of perjury that you meet these criteria. You do not need to submit receipts, confirmation emails, or other documentation.

How Much Money Can You Get from the Sportsman’s Warehouse Settlement?

The total settlement fund is $4,500,000. From that amount, the Court may award class counsel up to $1,575,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses (35% of the aggregate claims cap), and the class representative may receive a service award of up to $5,000. Settlement administration costs will also be deducted from the fund.

Eligible class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will receive up to $107. The final per-person payment is subject to pro-rata adjustment — meaning the more valid claims filed, the lower each individual payment may be. If fewer people file claims, individual payments could equal the full $107.

Payment options include paper check, Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle at the claimant’s election. Any payment not cashed or redeemed within 90 days of issuance will expire and become void.
