Applying for an FFL

[Duece]

This has been something I have been toying with for sometime, I've held off because of my renting a condo living situation.

I came across this tonight and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to their legitimacy?

Interesting....sounds a little too good to be true

IIRC it's just info that walks you through the application process. Something tells me this info is available elsewhere...

One thing to consider is that ATF wants your FFL to have a commercial address.

We used them. We had a lot of things going on at the time so their assistance was helpful.

That's actually something that is "supposedly" not 100% accurate.

Plenty of people have their ffls at home. I believe your town/city has to approve it though.

I believe it is concluded in this thread you may not have a home FFL

Without reading the whole thing, I'm not in Massachusetts and that was most of what I read zoning issues

I know that there are some; it's likely that no "new" ones will make the cut.....

I just went through the process, and I used that site. I think it was $35. Well worth the money in my opinion! Yes, they basically walk you through the process, but they give you all kinds of useful tips, forms, suggestions. For what it's worth, I was able to obtain my FFL 01 ( dealer ). I am in NH and DO not have a commercial address, I am using my home address.

Not exactly. It all depends on how your town does zoning and how they classify home based business's.

Just be aware, if you are doing this from home, you are opening up your home to the possibility of ATF personnel wanting access to your records and any stock of firearms in your home. If you only have one safe and keep your firearms in it, if they haven't changed anything, you will have to attach a tag to them stating they are not for sale.
