What's the deal with item 11 on the Form 7CR?
11d Been an Employee of a Federal Firearms Licensee In the fine print, it says "A 'Yes' answer to items #11, #12 and #13 could disqualify a person for a license. So in a previous live I worked the sporting goods counter at Wal-Mart, and I sold firearms in Virginia. So I am assuming I do have to say Yes for 11d, so will that disqualify me from getting a C&R? Or am I just being paranoid? Is that more so if you're the guy from Red Jacket you can't get a C&R? Also, I didn't get a copy of the compliance form with my packet, and it seems to be that I don't need one, the instructions say one is necessary for each additional person listed on the application. I think I'm going to send them one anyway to be safe. But mostly I'm more concerned about how saying that I worked for an FFL previously could disqualify me... I don't understand that part. |

Talked to the BATFE today and got part of an answer... Yes, selling guns at the sporting goods counter at Wal-Mart counts. (given that Wal-Mart is a corporate licensee, I wonder if the same would apply for someone who worked in the Wal-Mart electronics dept?) However, the guy I spoke to couldn't explain why being a former employee for a FFL could disqualify you from a C&R or other FFL yourself. So I just marked the box Yes, added the explanation letter to the application and dropped it into the mail. So now to see how long it takes until A: I get a C&R in the mail, or B: the black helicopters come to my house

If I lived within the town limits, the city police chief would be my CLEO. It depends who has jurisdiction over your address. Who responds when there is a crime-related call for you? In Pennsylvania, the County District Attorney is the CLEO. go figure...  |

I'm guessing the concern is that you'd be splitting off from your former business, opening your own business and somehow trying to operate under a C&R. Not that it would make any sense since it is still illegal to operate a business under a C&R, but perhaps someone who has been in the business before is more likely to try that. |

Question... Do you have to have a Hunting license to get a C&R license? I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter but wanted to make sure first... The form asks, "Are you in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States?" "If you answered NO, you likely cannot lawfully possess a firearm and therefore cannot be a federal firearms licensee."
