- I received an FFL application yesterday in the mail. The BATF people seem
- real adamant about the FFL being issued for business purposes, rather than
- personal use (my intentions). They insist that you have regular business
- hours and be open to the public. Since I am not intending to buy and sell
- guns as a business would, and not keep regular hours for the public (I
- don't even wish to deal with the public), how do I answer on the form? Is
- this some attempt by the Feds to limit the FFLs being issued? It seems
- unreasonable to me that they would attempt to limit issuance to business
- organizations only. Or did I miss a real obvious answer for the hobbyist?
-
- Thanks in advance for all replies - Wes Smith
