I think there are some advantages to getting an FFL. Sure there's a fee to make up and all the things you have to consider when starting a business, but...

If you plan on selling I think you can buy without tax because you're selling and paying tax then. You don't have the same restrictions of purchase as someone just collecting. If you are a huge collector maybe it would make sense to get an FFL, I don't know.

 

except the ATF is cracking down on collectors getting an FFL just to enhance personal collections and ability to buy for self at cost from dealers.

 

If you are a gun dealer, you have alot of responsibility... who is going to take it more seriously, joe blow collector with an FFL or someone whose livelihood depends on it.

 

Change that "Is" to "Has been for years" Mak. the days of the "Kitchen Table" type FFL are pretty much gone, Since the Clinton Admin, the number of FFL's have dropped bu something like 30% I believe, mostly those who didnt have a Storefront.

" federal concealed carry license" The problem with this is you have entered the slippery slope of allowing a "right" to be regulated by the fed gov :naughty:

you know what's sad? Me being okay with the federal gov't regulating it as opposed to not being able to do $hit right now because of our state gov't.
