| OK, I have received my FFL application and before I fill it out I would like some input from current FFL holders. How difficult is it to maintain your license? I would like to use it to give local ARFcomers someone who could do transfers at a reasonable price. Most companies around here do them for $40-$75. It would also be nice to try an internet based firearm business. Is this something I can do without the investment of a storefront out of my home? I don't want to waste my time or money so any advice or input would be appreciated. |

Depends on whether your examiner is an asshole or not.
A few FFLS I know of that did cheap transfers weren't allowed to renew their FFL because they worked out of their home and their examiner wanted a store front to operate out of. I'm sure some it's also dependent on volume. The guys I knew would probably transfer under 50 guns a year. They mostly helped out friends. A gunsmith in my area works out of his home and does a lot of business and he hasn't been affected. |

My FFL is a kitchen table FFL without a store.
Does FFL transfers only in his house and sells guns on gunbroker He has kept his for 10+yrs operating like this, no problems at all. The only thing I seem to remember them wanting him to do was install a big gunsafe, and he did, where he keeps all his guns + books. |

The ATF examiner will check your zoning ( city and county )before he comes for a compliance check . Compliance check? Once your license is in the works the atf will set up a time to come to your business address for a visit and go over everything. If that goes well you get your ffl . |
