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

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.
No...

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.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.

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.

They will also ask you to get a conditional use permit, business license, and register with the Dept of Revenue. If you don't have set hours or a store front, they most likely will not approve the license. Having the FFL at your home opens up the ability for them to also inspect your residence as well. Its definitely more difficult now to get a "home" based ffl than it was in the past.
Also the majority of the home insurances will say no way to running a ffl out of the house. Big increase in liability. A lot of people don't think about insurance. It is pretty dang expensive anytime you get into a ffl or gun smithing. You make a modification and the gun blows up and you don't insurance kiss anything you have good bye without insurance!
You need to look into excises tax as well. I think manufactures have to pay about 2500 a year no matter how many guns you build if you want a 06. There is also Washington state licenses you have to have as well that is another 125.00 a year and if you are going to do anything nfa you get into SOT stuff and thsts like 500.00 a year I think.
