I'm probably gonna change my premise location because I need a bigger place for my primary business.

Is the normal procedure to file form 5300.38?

Also I believe I have to send in the original license with the form and wait for the new one?

The IOI( Which was/is a trainee) I contacted her and she says to fill out the 5300.38 and there will be another visit from her or another IOI and to go over the same stuff as last time. Which makes no sense for a visit at the new place because the original visit consisted of only procedures on being an FFL. Nothing related to zoning or permitted uses etc.

I emailed her after this post and she said to fill out that 5300.38 and to send in my license my current one. She's a trainee(or was) when she did my app.

I'm almost considering just doing my home instead of the new office mainly because the previous landlord almost shit a brick when she heard guns. But I told her I wasn't making a "gun shop"  so she was ok with it.

My new place the landlord is really great but he's somewhat challenged. I don't even know how to say this right. He's a Hispanic guy. Speaks English. Been here 30 years but he's like not up to par with how certain things work (FFL Licensing)

I dunno if it depends on the IOI you get but my original one had no questions as to zoning or to see the business license or zoning clearance. I had asked her and she just said it was up to me to be sure it was cleared. But she did call the landlord to double check about the ok for the license in their building.

478.52 does say that the applicant's original license shall accompany the COA application. That's why the IOI is saying to send your FFL in with the COA application.

<----has changed addresses twice in eight years and never sent in a copy of my FFL with the 5300.38

ATF already has a copy of the original and can print out a new one anytime they (or you) want one.
