There are alot of current FFL holders on the auction side and on the forums.

How many here have previously had a FFL?

Yes, had one for 20+ years until sold the business and retired.
The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.

I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

    close but no cigar
    many many years ago I filled out all the paper work about to send it off , then about the same time met a new friend who had his and would order anything at dealer cost great fellow with many hobbies great to deal and talk with ( I always paid him for the time ) I decided more convenient to go thru him as no paper work for me to worry about so I scrapped my plans

    A C&R License is an 03 FFL so there's a lot of us that still have one of those.

    Type 03 (C&R) since 1981.

    Type 01 (Dealer) since 1985.

    When I relocated to Florida I had to have a new FFL. The Compliance inspector, who was a cute little gal, looked over my records and was quick to point out that I was a licensed dealer before she was born! :o I'm defiantly getting old :cry:

    I was a "kitchen table" dealer in the late 1960's. The 01 FFL cost $2.00. Most distributors would not sell to me because I was not a "stocking dealer".

    Had a C&R for 15 years. I quit buying old guns and let it lapse. Then I started buying old guns again. I am happy to give my FFL the business on the transfers.

    Used to have a C&R, I got "inspected" by the ATF (actually a couple of college kids that didn't know serial number from model number) gave me a verbal hard time about selling some of the items I collected to upgrade to newer items, I showed them the portion of the law that said I could do just that and I had every purchaser recorded in the book and full ID listed, I decided it just wasn't worth being hassled and moved on.

    Now everything I do is through a local FFL in's and out's, they charge 10% on consignment and 20 bucks to transfer in and I don't have to worry about nuttin.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!
