Getting an FFL - AR15.COM

Posted: 8/13/2005 3:31:53 PM EDT

I was going to go ahead and get a C+R license. I went to look up the licensing information and It looks like the wording for a type 1 ffl may have changed. IIRC it used to require that you had a place of business. Now it reads

"Has premises for conducting business or collecting"

Is this the way it has always been, or may I be able to get a type 1 FFL at my "Home Office"

Depends on where you are at. If you can get a business license for your home address, it's possible.

I'll let you know in a couple of months. Business license just got approved, app for an 07 FFL goes out this week.

Local zoning is what stops most people who want a FFL at their home.

Most residential areas don't allow business zoning and the BATF looks at that.

Yep, but internet business licenses bypass most zoning requirements.

ATF will require that you keep some business hours.

Some hours (may be as few as 1, I don't know) during the weekdays between 9am and 5pm. These are the hours compliance agents work. A 01 FFL has to have hours. A 07 FFL can be by appointment only.

I know on the application you can pick any day you want sun-sat for your one hour and put by appt only on the rest so the agents can inspect you when they need to.
