How to get FFL

wesleyscrivner
How does one go about getting an FFL... well, actually, I know I am supposed to get an app. from ATF and submit it with $200-$300. I guess my real question is after I get the license how do I order from the manufacturers and such? Will I get that info with my License? Please someone help me here. Internet info is so confusing.

    don't be in a hurry .it will take@ 3 months after you send in your application.. then the ATF will come to the address on the application and inspect it and interview you. if you decide to get a lincense, you have opened up your life to the government. they will notEVER need a search warrant to enter your home OR place of business. you will either need a store front or a shop( business) with hours so they can inspect at anytime. the ATF will not issue to a person that is not engaged in the business.hope this helps

    There are many wholesalers out there. Suggest you pickup a copy of Shotgun News and that will give you some ideas. However, none of these folks will really be responsive until you have your FFL because they will want a file copy.

    Also, you will need a business address, which can be your home, but your are going to have to satisfy their inspection criteria and while it isn't in the rules ... from what I've heard they nit-pick a lot more on the home businesses, but I have no first hand experience of that.

    Get a copy of the regulations, study them and then decide if you want to apply and how to best go about it (fixed business, home business, etc.).

    Thanks guys. I am more interested in having it for gunsmithing reasons than anything really. I'm not a proffesional gunsmith at this time but I am learning. Just checking out things of interest. Anyway, I appreciate the info.

    Answering your "real question", your FFL information is "sold". After
    your FFL is granted, you will immediatedly start receiving flyers and
    catalogs in the mail, unsocilited. I receive usually six to eight catalogs/flyers per week. 101
