FFL?

[longrangekiller]

so just wondering on all of your opinions on having a ffl for in house gun work and sales?

[bobcat]

Not sure what you mean by "in house." 

[longrangekiller]

 the location of the ffl licence would be my house it will not be a actual store. 

[Knocker of rocks]

Hobbyist FFL?  I think those are much less common than they were 25 years ago

I believe there would be the "Store front address" hurdle.

[longrangekiller]

it would be a type 01/02 and 06. looking to get into buying and selling just would like to be the only employee and keep it small. Also getting into just little customization's on pistols nothing to big but more like barell polishing, color filling, stippling and trigger jobs. from the understanding i got i would need a ffl in order to take those guns into my house "overnight" to perform that work...? if im wrong please people correct me im sure there is alot of guys on here that knows alot more about the ffl requirements then me

yes, you will need an actual storefront..private home based ffl's are a thing of the past

Some must be grandfathered in then, as I know a guy who has an FFL and works out of his house. He buys and sells a lot of guns, and does minor gunsmithing work.

Just do the paperwork, mot hard to do, but time consuming. There are ways around the actual "store front" it really al depends on where you live because yr local LE has to sign off on it.

Kinda off topic / on topic question but can one get an FFL just for there own use . So they don't have to pay somebody else the transfer fees and mark up. Say they want a new rifle / pistol just order it up kinda thing.

Theoretically you could.  The government can't force you to sell a gun, but..... you would have to have a business license, state firearms license, and a FFL.  Plus have a "store front" building.

My FFL guy does not have a store front. He does have a business license etc for home type of repairs, transfers etc.

So he has a business with stated hours or an appointment book.
