Benefits of FFL
The benefits of having a FFL are worth looking at because there is money involved, as well as being able to streamline your gun purchases. When you get your Federal Firearms License you will no longer be required to purchase your firearms from a dealer, whether it is a store or an online website. As you may already know, when you buy a gun you have to submit to a background check and then the firearm is delivered to someone that maintains an active FFL. When you have and maintain your own FFL one of the benefits of having the FFL, is that you can have the firearm shipped straight to you and you are not required to perform a background check for every gun sale you make. That is only part of the costs that are saved when you have a FFL.
Another one of the benefits of FFL is that you will be able to have the guns shipped straight to your home or your business. The reason you will be able to do this is because if you have a FFL you will be able to cut out the middleman. By getting rid of the middleman you will be able to place gun purchase orders directly from places such as Taurus or Remington and Glock. Since you have the FFL in your own name, you will be able to have the gun shipped directly to you, as the acting FFL for the transaction.
The benefit of an FFL that is of the most interest to people is that they will be able to purchase guns at whole prices directly from the gun manufacturers at a substantial savings. By cutting out the middleman and maintaining your own FFL you will not need to have the firearms shipped to anyone but yourself. By having the firearm shipped to yourself, as allowed by law when you maintain a FFL, you will save money, time and frustration.
As you can see the benefits of having a FFL involve not only saving time as well as frustration, but also makes the entire process of purchasing the firearms more affordable. While all of this may seem too good to be true, the benefits of getting a FFL may be too good to be true. The dream of saving money and time and frustration only becomes a reality when you maintain a FFL, and your government really does not want you to have the benefits of a FFL.
The process of receiving your FFL and all of the benefits that come with it will only be available to you after you have passed all of the requirements of obtaining a FFL, and that is where the trouble starts. Because your government is a nation of laws, they are required to authorize FFL to those individuals that request to have a FFL. By law the ATF is required to respond to your FFL requests within about sixty (60) days. Since they are only required to respond in a timely manner for the initial application, there is no such time limit when your application is denied, and you choose to begin the appeals process. The appeals process is where the federal government corrupts your ability of obtaining the benefits of having a FFL.
To understand what we are saying you need to look at the process of obtaining your FFL. The entire FFL application process has been made difficult to complete, by design. As you may have noticed, there is little help from the government that unravels and explains the FFL application process to you, the citizen. By keeping you, the citizen in the dark on how to complete the application process there is a greater chance that you will make a mistake on the application. When you make a mistake on the FFL application you have given the government the opportunity to complete the process of denying you the right of being able to hold a FFL. YES, you read that right….By making the process of applying for a FFL so difficult they have increased the chances of you screwing it up. When you screw it up and have it denied, FOR ANY REASON, they have satisfied the law for accepting and evaluating your FFL application. Now that they have denied the application they are not required to react for your request of appeal to be completed in any time limit.
If you want to get the benefits of a FFL then you need to realize that you only get one chance to file for a FFL a first time. Since you want to avoid the appeals process and save the $200.00 to refile again, you really need to make sure you get it right the first time that you file the FFL application. Since the process has been made so difficult you need to make sure you get the help you need when you apply for the FFL that first time. There are really just two highly qualified FFLKits on the market today. We have described them below.
FFL123 is a decent program that will cost you $54.99 for the entire package. It will do what is required and although there are two offers involved, you will really need to use the complete package.
FFLKit.com is also a decent program but really gives you more “bang for the buck”. It will do everything you need it to do, can be done for less and the total package cost is priced lower at $49.99.
So, if you are looking to reap the benefits of having a FFL, then you really do not want to make the initial application without the help of a FFLKit. The two best are listed above and either one you choose will cost you some cash now, but that cost will save you money, time and major frustration if your application is rejected by the ATF. We recommend the less expensive FFLKit.com not because it costs less, but because we feel it is the better product and the lower cost is just a bonus.
We wish you luck in obtaining your FFL and hope that oneday you too will have the benefits of a FFL in your life also!
