Hello,
I am planning on getting a FFL so I can sell firearms... I've started filling out the application... I was wanting to see if I can get any pointers from any past or current FFLs in starting a firearms business... I've had my own business for 4 years in the past in a different industry (homebuiliding vendor)... and Bachelor's Degree in Business Admin... but I'm looking for advice they don't teach in school... hands on experience... thanks, John

Hi John..from another John..I don't have a FFL yet but waiting on my FFL03 license...so take this with a grain of salt..
If you get your FFL01 license I think you'll need a place of business, depending on your zoning you "could" run it from home but I would not want to do that. You would need to be a "rivot counter" when it comes to the paperwork/bookwork..cross every T and dot every I no matter what. I plan on going ahead and getting the FFL01 once I get my house paid for and use it for collateral on a small building on the side lot I'll have. I'm sure there is a few here that could give ya way better info but this is just my two cents..and two cents don't go far. Best of luck in the venture in any case.
