Q: May one FFL license cover several locations?
No. A separate license must be obtained for each location. However, storage facilities are not required to be covered by a separate license, although the records maintained on licensed premises must reflect all firearms held in the separate storage facility. Firearms may be shipped directly to separate storage facilities as long as they are properly recorded as an acquisition in the licensee’s records.
27 CFR 478.50]

Q: Does an importer or manufacturer of firearms also need a FFL dealer’s license?

[27 CFR 478.41(b)]

Q: If a person timely files an application for renewal of a license and the present license expires prior to receipt of the new license, may the person continue to conduct the business covered by the expired license?
Yes. A person who timely files an application for renewal of a license may continue operations authorized by the expired license until the application is finally acted upon. An application is timely filed when it is received accurate and completed at the P.O. Box listed on the application form with the appropriate renewal fee.

If a person does not timely file a license renewal application and the license expires, the person must file ATF Form 7 (5310.12), Application for License, or an ATF Form 7CR (5310.16), Application for License (Collector of Curios or Relics), as required by 27 CFR 478.44, submit the application fee applicable to a new business, and obtain the required license before continuing business activity.

[27 CFR 478.45]

Q: Must a licensed importer’s, manufacturer’s, or dealer’s records be surrendered to ATF if the licensee discontinues business?
If the business is being discontinued completely, the licensed dealer, manufacturer or importer is required, within 30 days, to forward the business records to the following address:

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
National Tracing Center
ATF / Out of Business Records Center
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405 USA
Voice 1-800-788-7133 x 1590
Failure to surrender required records is a felony and could result in the licensee being fined up to $250,000, imprisoned up to 5 years, or both. A licensee discontinuing business also must notify the Federal Firearms Licensing Center within 30 days.

If someone is taking over the business, the original licensee should underline the final entry in each bound book, note the date of transfer, and forward all records and forms to the successor (who must apply for and receive his or her own license before lawfully engaging in business) or forward the records and forms to the ATF Out-of-Business Records Center. If the successor licensee receives records and forms from the original licensee, the successor licensee may choose to forward these records and forms to the ATF Out-of-Business Record Center.

Firearm Sales Online: Why You Need A FFL

Firearm sales online are a new and ever increasing business on the Internet. If you are interested in buying guns, then you really need to consider being able to purchase guns directly from the manufacturing source. Most individuals looking for firearm sales online do not think twice about all of the fees that must be paid to order a gun over the Internet. We attribute this to the fact that the average American is numb to paying taxes that they do not resist them in any way, shape or form. For the most part the average gun buyer does not realize that there is a much, much less expensive way to purchase quality firearms online, for personal use.

If you, or someone you know collects guns or just likes to get one every now and then, it should already be realized that firearm sales online are the way to go. Companies like ImpactGuns.com will be more than happy to ship you a gun that is purchased via the Internet. If you decide to order a gun from them (or anywhere else for that matter) you will have to pay for a background check and then the firearm will have to be shipped to a person that maintains a Federal Firearms License. Once the FFL holder received your order they would hold it until you paid to have the ownership transferred to you and ensure all background checks were passed. These cost range from $50 to $100 bucks and they must be paid each and every time you make a firearm sale online. This is the cost that you can eliminate by merely applying for and obtaining your own FFL.

Once again the government has you sort of brainwashed into thinking that the FFL is some mystically difficult permit to obtain that borders on being impossible. The feeling most people have when the thought of having their own FFL is one of fear, dread and no can do! We want to tell you that you need to stop thinking like a government programed drone. If you were to be a FFL holder your firearm sales online would be simpler, faster and less expensive. The one thing we have not even touched upon is that if you were to maintain your own FFL, you would also be able to buy them directly from the manufacturer and only have to pay wholesale cost. If you did not have the FFL you will pay hundreds of dollars more than you will if you maintained your own FFL. If you are buying firearms online, the least expensive way to obtain the guns, is with your own FFL.

So what is the downside?
The only downsize is that your government does not really want you to know about how easy it can be to obtain a FFL. If the government had their way they would be more than happy to double your taxes and revoke the entire 2nd Amendment. Although increasing the taxes has never really been a problem, eliminating the 2nd Amendment has been a bit more difficult. Since the right to own and buy firearms still exists, the only option left for Uncle Sam is to make the process of obtaining your FFL as difficult as possible. If you did not notice, there is not much government help out here in cyber space. You may have also noticed that the lame website that does exist is overloaded with so many laws, rules and legal terms that you really do need a lawyer to make sense of it all. You may have also noticed that there is NOT ONE government website available to you that provides ALL of the information you need.

You ask why?

The reason goes very deep into the reality that firearm sales online aggravate the powers that be to the ‘enth degree. By law the ATF has 60 days to process your application. They are required to either issue or deny your application withing 60 days…..and that is where the laws created by anti-gun gurus muddy the waters. If you file ANYTHING wrong in your FFL application, your FFL is denied. Once the ATF has denied your FFL application, they keep the $200.00 application fee and you are done. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS DIRTY….

Since your FFL was denied (smudged fingerprint card, wrong form filed, missing paperwork….) you will then need to re- apply to the ATF under the classification of appeal. THE ATF IS UNDER NO TIME RESTRAINTS TO PROCESS AN APPEAL!. If you even were to visit their website, you will read that they even admit that the appeals process is a very lengthy process. This is where your 2nd Amendment rights get crushed. Why are we saying this?

The FFL application process is designed to be near impossible to complete correctly by a person that is not versed in the rules and laws. The ATF waits to pounce and deny FFL’s administratively so you will have to enter the pool of appeals and it is hoped that you will just give up, run out of money and go away. That is the reality of the FFL process today in America. No FFL? Then you pay FULL retail, you pay for a background check every time you buy a gun and you will also pay a transfer fee for ownership. All of these costs can be avoided if you had a FFL. If you were to make your firearm sales online with your own FFL, the saving will add up really fast.

The key to this problem is that you never file your FFL application without the help and experience of a trained professional. By paying only MINIMAL costs you will be able to file your FFL correctly the very first time and avoid the appeals process entirely. By doing it right the first time you will save money and frustration and most of all, not allow the government to get over on you. The best place to start your FFL application is at FFLKit.com because they will provide you with all of the information on your computer in the next few minutes. They have a knowledgeable staff and even run their own gun store. The help they provide will ease the frustration and provide ALL of the information that you need to not only make firearm sales online, but also be able to do it cheaper, faster and with so much less hassle.

FFL Application Questions

There is much mystery around applying for a FFL. On one side of the argument you hear people saying that the questions asked to get a FFL are designed to keep you from getting your FFL and on the other side you hear people telling you that the process is easy. As a new comer there is one thing that is sure and that is that the entire FFL application process seems a bit over whelming at first glance. In an effort to take away some of the mystery of getting a FFL, here are some questions and some answers for applying for the FFL. Here are some answers to what may be some of your FFL application questions. We have provided a link, for your convenience to a government website that pertains to [18 USC 923(d)(2), 27 CFR 478.47(c)]. This is the portion of the law that pertains to commerce in firearms and ammunition. We encourage you to click on over the the government site to help you realize that the entire FFL application process has been overly complicated to make gun ownership more difficult in America. In our opinion, the simple act of owning a gun has become a process that scares many individuals away. If you doubt that, then click on over to the ATF question and answer section on their website. Before we get into a brief summary of the most popular FFL Application Questions we want you to see all the stuff the government has put out to help you get the FFL. We encourage you to read over all the stuff because it is overwhelming and that is because of a little thing called the 2nd Amendment.

Because of the 2nd Amendment the government is required to allow citizens the right to buy and own a gun. The FFL is what allows a person to be able to sell guns. In many circles it is the unquestionable truth that the government does not want to give out any more FFL’s than they have to. Although the laws say that we have the right to bear arms, the law does not state that the right to bear arms has to be easy to exercise. By creating the above system demonstrated by the two government links, the process to buy and sell guns has been legislated to the point of supreme bureaucratic dictatorship. The entire process to get a FFL has been buried under laws and regulations that threatens the very existence of the 2nd Amendment. If you doubt this, then try to understand the laws well enough while working 40 hours a week and taking care of the kids and not having the money to pay an attorney! Lets explore two popular questions and answers that pertain to the FFL application process.

How long does it take to approve or deny an application for a FFL?

The approval or disapproval should take no more than 60 days. The clock starts ticking the day your application is received at the Federal Firearms Licensing Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia (FFLC).

When do you get your license?

The gun control act requires the ATF to act on a properly completed application withing 60 days. The ATF only considers it to be a complete application once all of the required information has been submitted in writing. If there is an error in forms, or an error in filing, an error in fees, and error in the correct number of legible fingerprint cards, an error in the application being completed correctly, an error the business name, an error in premise address, and error in the hours of operation, an error in EIN and on and on and on and on…, the entire process gets reset and the file gets rejected and you are once again going to have to set your clock to FFLC time zone.

Also there can be delays to complete background checks, face to face interviews, establish zoning requirements, determining local laws, more fingerprint cards that could not be “read”. Any and all reasons to cause a delay, WILL cause a delay. That delay really pans out as a denial and then that opens the door to the “loophole” of the law. By their own admission, the government has 60 days to process your application the first time, but if it is denied for any reason, you have the right to appeal. The process to appeal has no time limit, so when you apply for your FFL, you really need to get it right the first time. If you want to get it right you need the help of FFLKit.com, because they have the experience and the history behind them to be able to unwind the entire process for you. If you screw up the initial application on filing your FFL application…”this process is significantly lengthy and could obviously exceed 60 days“. So if you are filing your FFL application, you better get it right the first time or plan on getting a refill on your patience, you will need it.

Sure, the entire process of applying for a FFL is legal, but then everything Hitler did was legal too. Remember, we are talking about buying guns and the process has been legislated to death because of the simple fact that the government does not really want to allow the population to own guns. After you read all of the links above be sure to check out FFLKit.com, they will help you make sense of the entire FFL application process. They will be the ones to help you file your FFL application correctly the first time. They will be able to give you more support in actually being able to get your FFL in spite of all the rules, regulations and laws thrown before the citizens of America.

We could go on and on about what a person needs to obtain a FFL and we want you to understand the one and most important aspect of the entire process. That singular point is that they do not want you to obtain your FFL. Since there is a 60 day window the law requires them to act upon, if you are denied for any reason, they have satisfied the law and now your application starts the journey through the land of limbo. That is why you need the assistance of a FFL kit to help you navigate the path of obtaining your FFL. You have seen the links to the government sites we provided above, you gave up and came back to this little article and now you need to decide….how bad do you want your FFL? How bad do you want to exercise your right that was given to you by our forefathers? How bad do you NOT WANT to allow your rights to be trampled upon? If you are like many of the awakening Americans, then we need to work from within to get our nation back on track. We need to use the laws that are in effect now and the best way is to give them what they are requiring to be given. Go ahead and apply for your FFL and make sure you answer the FFL questions correctly the first time and the process is tamed and you can get your FFL. If you have the money it is even suggested that you hire and attorney, but we all know how costly that can be and how the law supports those that have the best lawyer. If you do not have the money to hire an attorney to file for you, then get a FFL kit. The best kit out there is FFLKit.com.

Obtaining An FFL

Obtaining an FFL is a process that needs to be executed correctly the first time because that is really the only time the applicant has the law to their advantage. Yes, the 2ndAmendment requires the government to give you the right to bear arms, but that right has to be exercised within the boundaries of what the legislative process has come to dictate. What we mean is that the government has to respond to your FFL application within 60 days. No if’s, and or buts about it…they have 60 days to approve or deny your FFL application because that is what the standards/law say needs to be done. Now that you know that, lets see how the law really just crumbles when you make one little administrative error when filing your application, when attempting to obtain an FFL.

If you try to obtain your FFL and make a mistake of any type filing the paperwork, the door has just been opened to the bureaucratic quagmire that exists right inside the 2nd Amendment. What we are referring to is the fact that the ATF requirement to act quickly goes away once they have met the initial requirement of approving or denying your FFL application. If you make ANY mistake and the application is denied, you will then enter the appeals process and that process has no time limit to complete. The ATF itself will not tell you how long the appeals process will take, but you need to be warned that it will become a test of wills from that point on, since the law technically has been fulfilled by denying your application for obtaining an FFL.

What you need to understand here is that the government really wants to limit the quantity of FFL’s it allows to be issued. By creating a system that is hard to navigate, they have subverted the law because once they deny the FFL application, the process itself sort of falls into the legislative abyss. Since they have fulfilled the law by denying your FFL application within 60 days, the clock really has stopped ticking. That is why it is so important to file the FFL application correctly THE FIRST TIME when trying to obtain a FFL.

It is suggested that you use the services of either an attorney or an organization such as FFLKit because they have both the experience and the know how of how to submit your FFL application correctly the first time. Since you really only get one shot at the first time you apply…..don’t screw it up or you will more than likely end up giving up. Giving up is really what Uncle Sam wants you to do!

Gun Sales

Gun Sales! Shop here! Order Here! We have the best price on gun sales! Get the best price on Colt, Remington, Glock. Shop around and get the price on ANY GUN you want. Gun sales and gun prices are all over the Internet and yet we came up in your search results and we do not have ANY guns to sell! The weird part is that we can get you a handgun or a rifle at the lowest price you have EVER paid in your life. Yet we have no desire to complete any guns sales at all! Let us explain…

The absolute lowest price that you can pay for a gun, is if you purchase it for yourself. If you are looking to get a gun and you are looking to get a good price, why not buy it yourself at wholesale? Why not just order it direct and get the same price the dealer you buy it from pays? Why not cut out the middleman and just use the money you save to buy more guns? Sure we could come out here and just plant some links directing you to the lowest cost of guns in the world, but our goal on the web is to not just make some gun sales, it is to allow you to be empowered with the knowledge of how to make gun sales for the cheapest price around, and the only way to do that is to have you sell the gun directly to yourself with the legal ability of being a Federally Licensed Firearms (FFL) dealer. WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!!! Your first thought is that you can’t do that because you don’t have a FFL license and you can’t get one! Well, WHY CAN’T YOU GET ONE?

Cheapest way to complete gun sales is with a FFL

If you can own a firearm and you have the legal ability to walk into a gun store and buy a handgun, then chances are you have the legal right to get and receive a Federal Firearms License (FFL). The only problem is that the current administration in Washington D.C. does not like the fact that there is a little thing called the 2nd Amendment. Granted the ATF has the legal and moral obligation to monitor gun sales in America to protect society, the reality is that the ATF has become an extension of the current administration’s goalof mandating gun control, through the policies that are enforced. Gun sales are under fire in America and the lines are clearly drawn that to apply for an FFL, there is a legal and bureaucratic entanglement that a person need to navigate their way through to exercise the God given rights our founding fathers told us we were entitled to, by virtue of the 2nd Amendment. The problem today is that when we, as a nation think of gun sales, we shy away because of the intimidation the ATF has been hired to promulgate the desires of the administration that are there to derail our attempts at buying personal guns.

If you think that you should not get an FFL license to save money on buying guns, you are a product of the government and do not even realize it. If you were to just buy 5 guns in the next few years, you would be able to buy 6, 7 or 8 if you ordered them directly under your own FFL. By applying for an FFL and using it to purchase handguns the money you save will allow you to buy even more guns. That little fact the government does not want you to know! They want to let you keep paying all of the government imposed fees and keep feeding money back into the government vault to allow the system to grow even larger so it can impose even more costs, to you the little guy that just wants to own a gun! Gun sales today are being regulated to death and if you want to really own some guns while saving money, then apply for a FFL. Do not allow the government to intimidate you into thinking it is too hard or costly to get a FFL. The amount of money you will save on your gun sales will be a shocker.

The only issue with making personal gun sales is that the ATF has given birth to so many rules and regulations that the course to getting a FFL is confusing. The confusion and frustration of getting a FFL has been built right into the system because of that darned thing called the 2nd Amendment. Dang! They wish that bothersome thing wasn’t there and until they can get rid of it, the quest will be to make it really difficult for the average citizen to be able to figure out how to get it done, which will limit the gun sales they will be able to complete, because of all the added expenses.

If you want to find the cheapest gun prices around and you want to find the easiest way to buy guns, stop looking to gun shops and pawn shops. If you want to complete some gun sales for yourself, then apply for a FFL and make it happen. Just make sure you know how to complete the application correctly because the government really just wants to find a way to reject it and deny your application. The difficult and mind-bending FFL application process is meant to dissuade you from even attempting the process. If you are interested in trying to understand the process, go check out FFLKit.com. They have been doing it for years and they have helped many get their FFL the first time they applied. This way the cheapest place for gun sales will be right at your computer and they can even ship the gun right to your door. Now how great would that be?

Good Luck, happy shooting and don’t let ANYONE stop you from exercising your rights!!!

FFL Application

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is the approving governmental agency for applications to get a Federal Firearms License (FFL). The are certain requirements that a person must meet to be eligible to be granted permission by the ATF to receive a FFL. Those requirements for an FFL application are listed very briefly below.

Click here to learn how to navigate the red tape nightmare of an FFL application

The age at time of application is 21 years or older;
The applicant is not prohibited from shipping, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition;
The applicant has not willfully violated the Gun Control Act (GCA);
The applicant has not willfully failed to disclose material information or willfully made false statements concerning material facts in connection with the application;
Has premises (in many cases the premises can be your home) for conducting business or collecting for C&R; and the applicant will certify that:

the business (personal transactions also are also considered “the business”) conducted under the license is not prohibited by State or local law in the place where the licensed premise is located;
within 30 days of approval of the application the business will comply with all State and local requirements applicable to the conduct of the business;
that NO business will be conducted under the license until the requirements of State and applicable local laws have been met;
the applicant for the FFL has sent or delivered a form to the chief law enforcement officer where the premises are located notifying the officer that the applicant intends to apply for a license;
secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place in which firearms are sold under the license to the persons who are not licensees (“secure gun storage or safety” defined in 18 U.S.C. 921 (a) (34)

As you can see by what is listed above, the FFL application requirements contain a stack of “stuff”. As you will soon discover, that “stack” of stuff is also floating in a sea of red tape. It is no secret that the states and the federal government really have no desire to issue the masses Federal Firearms Licenses. Whether it is by design or whether it is simply just another example of government bureauacracy, it is undeniable that the FFL application process has become one discombobulated jumble of laws, paperwork requirements and governmental agencies. The process for an individual to file an FFL application is riddled with government personnel just waiting to delay or deny the application for the smallest of errors.

It has become the opinion of many people that the FFL application has just become another example of how the federal government is attempting to legislate legal firearms ownership out of existence. By passing laws at all levels of government it has become increasingly difficult for law abiding citizens to acquire the firearms they desire. Granted the act of buying the firearms is still allowed, it has just become more and more difficult to jump through all of the legal hurdles to correctly and successfully submit an FFL application.

In response to the recent upward trend of difficulty in competing an FFL application, true to the American spirit, there has been an outcropping of businesses that assist a person in the filing of an FFL application. It is a sad state of the Union when there is a full blown business that has appeared to assist you in just being able to deal with the requirements to get permission to purchase firearms. Without the assistance of organizations, FFL applicants often drown in the sea of red tape and ink. If you are interested in applying for a Federal Firearms License (FFL), then you are strongly advised to seek the counsel of an organization to help navigate all the rules and regulations.

In our qualified opinion the best organization available today is quite probably the one that has been around the longest and they are FFLKit.com. For the price that is less than a night at the movies a person will have available to them, at their fingertips, all of the needed information to correctly submit a FFL application the very first time. Without their services an FFL applicant runs the very high chance of scewing up some simple form and waiting 90 days before being given the privilege of starting the entire process all over again.

If you are serious of becoming an FFL applicant, then you really should visit FFLKit.com and see how much they will be able to assist you in getting your Federal Firearms License. The trick is that if you do it all correctly, the government still has to grant you an FFL. Maybe somewhere in the not too distant future that too may change, but as of right now, the only tactic available to the government is their ability to delay the process as much as possible by blaming you for your mistakes in filing. Why not be proactive and file it right the first time?

Obama On Gun Control

If you are thinking about purchasing a handgun, you better stop thinking about it and just start the process to get it done. The reason we say this is because of the stance that has been take by Obama on gun control. He says out of one side of his mouth that he really is not interested in making many changes and only wants to do away with assault rifles, but that is just the hot button phrase that is used by the media and the politicians to erode the rights that you have at the time this was written.

Believing Obama on gun control is like believing what he said about illegal aliens on government health care. He did lie and he told us he was not lieing. He also said the government would not use public funds to pay for abortion, but that too is soon to be realized as a lie. We could talk about the lies he says all day long, but the big lie we want to discuss here is the lie that is going on right now in the gun world. Everything Obama has said on gun control has been not what he has been doing, or agreeing to what is being legislated into existence.

Click here to make sure Obama does not stop you from buying a gun

Obama on gun control: Keep the guns and tax the heck out of the bullets.
Obama on gun control: Lets put a cap on how many bullets can be bought in 90 days.
Obama on gun control: Start a FEDERAL registry for every person that wants to own a gun.
Obama on gun control: Applicants for said registry must take a test.
Obama on gun control: Applicants for said registry must make public record of health and mental records.
Obama on gun control: Charge $25.00 to request application.

If Obama has not uttered the statements of what you see above, other politicians have made them or have introduced legislation to allow it to happen. Obama on control is to allow it all to happen and then act as if he is no part of the plot. Quietly Obama will allow guns and ammo to become a right that Americans no longer will be allowed to maintain.

A big issue of this right now is that the process to apply for a permit has become an exercise in pain. The paperwork, the fees, the filing, the background check, the paperwork, the refused paperwork because it was filled out wrong…..and on and an on and on and on!

If you want to get a gun you have to ask for permission and Uncle Obama is not in any hurry to make it happen. If you want to get a gun, you better file that application correctly because if you make one tiny mistake, it is kicked back for you to start over. They are even mulling over legislation to charge fines for applications with errors.

It is a sad state that you really need a tutorial to help you get a gun. It is recommended that you cut through all the local nonsense and go direct to Uncle Obama and get a Federal Firearms License. By doing this you will be able to buy one gun or one thousand guns. You should be able to even sell them to friends at your kitchen table for a small profit. The point to be made here is that if you get a federal firearms license, it will not matter where Obama stands on gun control.

The only issue now is how hard it is to fill out all the paperwork. If you want a crash course on how to fill out the paperwork click on over to FFLKit.com, where they have been doing it for years. They know how to make sure you walk right in front of all the draconian laws and flex your American made muscles for all the world to see.

Flex your rights, buy guns and do it all with your Federal Firearms License and then it will not matter where Obama stands on gun control. Use a premier service to help you navigate the permit process and make sure you don’t let the government waste your time and deprive you of the very rights they are starting to tell you that you really do not have anymore.

Gun Law Changes

Under the current administration in Washington D.C. there is much talk about feared changes in the federal laws governing gun ownership.

The rights of gun ownership can no longer be taken for granted.

Check to see if your gun laws are changing?

A big push by government now is an attempt to limit how many guns an individual can own. Some states are now trying to put a limit on how many guns a person can own and that also the individual will have to provide “proof of need” to the government. If we are not careful, the actual right to own guns will be scaled back and slowly revoked, as so many other restrictions the government is instituting.

We, as a nation need to be aware that with our current administration we may be at a turning point for our rights to bear arms. There is a good chance there will be changes in the way the firearms business are allowed to conduct business. It is impossible to know how the window of opportunity to obtain a Federal Firearms License will be affected.
