Was looking at the licensed FFL list on the ATF website and one column of the Xcel list has the company name and the next column on most contain more company name or info, but some have the word null in that column. Any FFL know why it might say null in the column after the company name instead of having more info?

That second column is like a "DBA" or other name they may go by for their business. If they don't use a different name than what's in the primary column then it says "null", meaning there's no data to put in that field.

Thanks for the replies. I was just making sure it didn't mean something like it had expired or not renewed. Thanks.
