Does anyone know how I can get the phone number of a ffl? Or to find if one is real?

    My dad has His FFL. If he wanted to send me a gun, would it have to go to another ffl in order for me to get it? I dont think he should have to. I live in Illinois and he lives in Minnisota. Just wondering. Him having his ffl may complicate things.

    Thanks

    Hey guys I recently applied for an FFL (on 3-9-2010) I noticed that my check has cleared the bank, How long usually before the ATF will contact me for an interview?

    To those of you that have an FFL. How difficult/expensive is it to obtain? I guess the reason I'm asking is I got to thinking and once I get my credit card paid off, I'd really like to start adding to my collection. Is it worth the hassle and saved money of not having to pay a transfer cost and having to go pick up the weapon if you purchase a lot of firearms?
    thanks

    Ive been reading some of the postings here about FFLs,being a owner of a gunshop you have to sell and meet certian Fedral,state and county city laws.
    Are you required to sell a certian amount of firearms to statify the BATFE?
    I used to work with a guy and he obtained his FFL and operated his business out of his house after work hours.
    What if you specialize in doing just one thing like transfers?
    Thanks

    I would like to obtain a FFL. I've seen these adds that for $34.95 they tell you everything you need to know. (do they work, and are they worth the money?) Can someone please point me in the correct direction and I'll handle it from there. Please point out any major stumbling block most commonly encountered.

    Thanking you in advance. There has to be an expert on this one, even though I listed it as general discussion.

    I am considering obtaining an FFL, I have all the paperwork and know everything I have to do to get it. What I want to know is, would it be worth all the trouble to go through with it. I have a insurmountable love for guns and everything about them. I would love to translate that love into a business and profit from it.

    I would love some feedback from some people who have obtained one and are currently operating small time businesses with them.

    Thank you very much.

    So I bought a gun and contacted an FFL on another website I frequent to do the transfer. UPS attempts delivery the first time, nobody there. I call him he was out of town. 2nd attempt, says he was there all day, 3rd attempt, nobody there. Call him, he says its his 2nd job and he's only there during lunch. Well WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT TO START WITH?

    $200 to start, for a Type 01.

    I think a Type 03 is a lot cheaper.

    To have an FFL you need to sell guns too.

    You should go to the site I posted and read. Contact the BATF and they will answer your questions.

    LOL Just trying to help...the best place to get your answer is from the agency who will issue the license. Fee's/laws change and the only up to date info would be from the source.
