What are the current fees associated with getting an FFL-01? Just toying with the idea. Thanks

Thanks...
for deer season and flies with his gun.
This year airline charged him $70.00 1 way for an extra pc. of luggage.
Rather than pay an another $70.00 on return, he took the bolt and magazine with him and I shipped the rifle back to him
Since he is the lawful owner, is it legal for me to return to him in this manner
Thanks
TIA
Thanks in advance!
Here is the deal. I like to collect WWII firearms. (M1 Garands, Carbines, Mausers, Arisakas etc.) I live in PA in the good old
US of A!
I would like to get a Thompson and a Grease gun, vintage full auto for my collection. I KNOW THAT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, but that is not an issue. I already have a PA concealed carry permit (not that it matters, just tells you i am totally clean) I am not interested in reselling, just buying. What federal permits will i need to apply for in order to legally obtain these? I do want them 100% working not semi auto conversions!
Thanks for your help!

2)Can it be shipped instate, interstate?
3)If a non-FFL holding person is allowed to ship a gun/pistol to a gunsmith how is the Non-FFL person allowed to ship pistols? USPS, UPS, Fedex? Must they use the services of a FFL holder?
Thanks in advance.

several days ago i posted a question inquiring about a c&r license. I received several good suggestions. I'm thinking about going ahead and getting a dealers license. i want to be able to buy and sell guns on Gunbroker without having to run everything through a local pawn shop. Can i run a business strictly on the internet or do i actually need a shop for people to come into?
Thanks,
Sherwin

yep its me ,same one for 4 years now
I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.
However, you must have the zoning, permits, & licences that anyone else running a home business in your locality must have. Once you have obtained all these, THEN you can apply for an FFL.

Federal regulations do not prohibit you from being a home based dealer, the regs only state that you must have a licensed premises. This can be a store front business, your home, a shed out in the backyard (very popular as it keeps the BATFE from doing their inspections in your living room) or some fixed structure where you have 24-7 access to the records which you must keep available. There may well be state and local laws which prohibit you running a gun business out of your home and the BATFE will not issue you a license unless you are in FULL compliance with local laws. If you think that you can actually do some business and impress the BATFE compliance inspector of this when he does his pre license interview, then by all means give it a try.

This is absolutely correct. I had an FFL for 27 years, always out of my home- finally dropped it as I got uncomfortable entering into this kind of contract (that is what it is you know) with the Feds after I had done some research on it. Each individual has to make their own decisions, so be aware of what you are doing and the ins and outs of it before you sign anything.If you want it, get it.

yes as i stated it was grand fathered in ,if you already had one ,or closed down and moved it to your house
as of a few years ago ,they will not issue a home based ffl dealers license ,or i would have one ,and yes you can turn you garage or the front of your house into a store front if local laws accept it ,it doesn't mean you have to rent a space in a strip mall to be a store front ,can you designate a room in your house to be a store front ,the answer is no
since the internet and gun shows has become so popular to sell guns ,the feds have cracked down on how they issue licenses ,Monday morning call them up and ask them ,tell them you want to run a gun store out of a spare room in your house ,you have a local business license and your town and state will allow it ,they will tell you no ,ten years ago they would have allowed it ,but not this century ,the laws have changed if you have a ffl you should have gotten the new books "read them" I have a C&R but I still get the news and updates
