Federal Firearm Licence - What is FFL Licensing?

What is FFL Licensing?

FFL License is the abbreviation for a Federal Firearms License which
is a BATF issued firearm license required of individuals
or companies engaged in the business of buying and selling firearms.
FFL holders also provide the service of “transferring” firearms to
individuals who may have bought the firearm online and had it
shipped to their local FFL holder for transfer to them.

Is it legal to purchase  firearms online or by mail order?

Yes, however, all modern firearms must by law be transferred from a ffl holder with a federal firearm dealer license at their business location to the actual buyer. That is why they only ship firearms to a ffl locator for subsequent transfer to our customers, instead of straight to the customer.

Where do I find a FFL Liscense Holder to do the transfer of my purchases?

Most of your local gun shops have a FFL license and will
perform the transfer for a small fee. Also, any individual holding a
FFL licensee can do the transfer for you. Doing transfers is an easy
way for your local FFL to generate cash flow without carrying
inventory. You can also locate FFL transfer dealers in your area by
logging onto several Internet resources.

Is a ffl locator required to purchase and ship optics and accessories?

No. Only modern firearms (not relics) are required to be shipped to a FFL holder. All other items can be shipped direct to the purchaser.

Can I provide background check information over the phone before I pick up my firearm?

No, by law, the required forms (ATF yellow sheet) is to be filled
out in the presence of a licensed ffl holder.
The background check will be initiated with the FBI NICS at the time
the yellow sheet is filled out.

What if I get a NICS delay response during the background check?

Delay responses are out of the control of the ffl liscense,
and no explanation for the response is given by FBI NICS as to the
reason for the delay. Delay responses provide the FBI NICS the
following 3 full business weekdays for review of the background check.
Generally most of the delay responses have been given a
final disposition within 24 hrs.

How old do I have to be to purchase a firearm?

Usually between 18 and 21, check locally for the correct age.
For handgun purchases, each state may have different age
requirements.. It is the buyer’s responsibility to know their local and state laws. Check with your local FFL holder before making a purchase.

Personal Review
If  you are obtaining an ffl, I assume you are knowledgleable about firearms in general including safety, cleaning, firing etc. What you may need a little help with would be the record keeping and regulatory side of the business. This is where I would highly recommend this product.

The FFL Kit will save you time collecting the necessary information you need and will give you “peace of mind” with the instructional guides and access to the forums where you can get help from others that have been there.

Just having a complete checklist of items needed and the information at your fingertips is worth the $19.49 for the ffl liscence kit.

The A&D Firearms Records Software will help you keep your required recordkeeping for ATF in electronic format that can be backed-up and printed off. A tattered old notebook  is no way to run a business. These feature alone is worth the price of the package.

Even if after reviewing the Basic Kit and you decide that obtaining an ffl license is not for you, the kit would have saved you countless hours in trying to collect information from unorganized government web sites and government office that put you into “voice mail hell.”

The guys at Davis Custom Firearms have done a great job putting this package together at an extremely low price.
