Going to have my ATF inspection somtime after Thanksgiving. Any advice from those in the know???
What to I need to prep on?
My store Has a Gun Safe, my A/D books are onsite with firearms I currently have slated for resale when my license goes through. Have locking display cabinets for those that will be on display, and an alarm system on my store with:motion detection, glass break alarm and door sensors.

Is this for a new license or an existing FFL?

Do you have child safety locks for them if any are handguns?

This is for a New FFL
I do have locks on hand for all firearms that I currently have in the safe.

Any Regs I need to be up to speed on? Questions I should prep for??

Ours was a piece of cake. The IOI goes over the regs with you, how to keep records, and basically makes sure that you're really in it as a business and not just to enhance your personal collection.

How about insurance? All the alarms and safes are nice but a fire will ruin the guns in many safes.

ATF doesn't care about alarms, big dogs, safes, etc. But you will need some gun locks per Federal law.

Insurance is taken care of. Was too much fun finding it....when they find out you want to sell firearms.....
