I'm going to buy a new house or duplex in 6-12 months and want a FFL about half a year after that.
Is it still possible to get a FFL out of a home? If so, how'd you do it? Thanks, Mike EDITED to add that I've already got a C&R- I'm looking at business here.

Well I have a C&R FFL. If that counts. All I had to do was download the application from the ATF's website. Fill it out and mail it in with my MO
Got it in the mail a few weeks later. |

Because of the rise of the online auctions, you can now have an FFL out of your home. But, you still need CLEO permission, fill out ATF Forms, pay the fees, submit a drawn layout of your house, have a way to secure the firearms (safe, etc), have a visit from the nice folks from the ATF, and then get approved.
If I remember right, your home has to also be approved by the Zoning Dept. as a business.... |

If you want to get a C&R FFL so you can have a personal collection you can get one for $30 for 3 years. If you want to do business you'll have to check zoning laws, have a "premisis" to do business from(a house doesn't count unless you set aside part of it for the public) and get a Type 01 FFL which cost more. Here's the ATF web site, they can answer all your questions.

Hmm, that's not an angle I considered... Wonder if I can pull that off in Mesa or unincorporated Maricopa County..? Mike |

OK, first you DO NOT need CLEO permission. You have to submit a copy of the FFL application with pics to the local CLEO but you DO NOT need his approval or signature. The ONLY way to do a home FFL is if you home is zoned commercial. If not you will never get code and zone approval to have a firearms business out of a residential home. You will get an inspection for compliance before given approval. You will also need a local occupation license or letter of compliance that no such license is required. If you live in a "guns are bad" city/town you will not get the occupational license. Without these things, NO FFL. Now the solution to the above is to rent a warehouse or office bay in the warehouse district. You don't need a showroom or anything fancy, basically just a physical address in a commerically zoned area. This will be your licensed premise. |
