I have been reading and it looks like the Type 07 can do the the same as Type 01 and before submitting my application I would like to know: - What are the I need to have when the ATF comes to inspect my home? Safe? Locks? Alarm? thanks You don't even need a front door. |

I just want to know if its a "requirement". I am not planning on storing guns, and transfers that I will be doing, will be with the seller bringing the firearm and buyer present. |

Quoted:
What are the I need to have when the ATF comes to inspect my home? Any business licenses required by your locality or state to hold an FFL. A copy of your incorporation or LLC agreement if you are not running as a sole proprietor. Zoning variance, if ordinances prohibit a home-based business. Permission from HOA, if you have one that regulates businesses (some do). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You may need the front door. You don't need the rest, according to a lot of guys, they were not asked anything about that during interviews. Some mentioned being asked about locks, I believe. It is the requirement to have child resistant gun locks or other safe storage devices available at your premises. Again, there is no ATF regulation that requires any physical security measures. If the IOI asks, a "no" does not disqualify the applicant. |

Every FFL applicant should be aware of the Safe Storage requirement. It has nothing to do with locks on your doors, alarms or safes. It is the requirement to have child resistant gun locks or other safe storage devices available at your premises. Again, there is no ATF regulation that requires any physical security measures. If the IOI asks, a "no" does not disqualify the applicant. |

FFS, NO REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A SAFE, LOCK, OR FRONT DOOR. The IOI can ask you if you voted for Hillary, it won't stop you from getting your FFL. We have a local FFL that was forced to buy a safe for their handguns after three consecutive break ins and thefts.... they didn't secure their guns the fourth time and their license was pulled (they never put any effort into securing anything). As long as you meet the legal requirements they can not prevent you from getting an FFL, but things will be a lot smoother if you follow their advice. |

Yet right below you say ATF will pull a license for not having a safe and the licensee "was forced to buy a safe".......AGAIN ATF cannot force a licensee to do anything of the sort. We have a local FFL that was forced to buy a safe for their handguns after three consecutive break ins and thefts.... they didn't secure their guns the fourth time and their license was pulled (they never put any effort into securing anything). Do you know for a fact that the FFL was pulled for not securing firearms? I have never heard of a dealer losing his FFL due to solely to theft. As long as you meet the legal requirements they can not prevent you from getting an FFL, but things will be a lot smoother if you follow their advice.

Based on my experience, his FFL was pulled for something other than you think it was.
On my inspections, suggestions were made, but I was not required to get anything, I live in a childless house and my shop does not have a safe, but I have never had any problems. |

My IOI never did ask about safe storage for the firearms. She just wanted to make sure the snake cage for the 15' reticulated python in the office was locked.
