There is NO requirement of a storefront. As has been asked by others, if you wish to prove us wrong, I'd certainly like to see a cite from the US Code or CFR thats says otherwise. The only requirement is that your FFL business is not operating in violation of any local laws including zoning regulations. If you recall when you get an FFL, you certify that once the license is issued you will not operate in violation of any local or state laws. Since MOST residential areas are zoned to preclude any commercial activity, you cannot get an FFL without at least a zoning variance. Some more sparsely populated residential areas, however, have no such zoning reregulations so a home-based business there is perfectly legal and acceptable to BATF. Its not about doing retail business, having a storefront, or any other such superficial issue. Its simply about BATF making a licensee comply with all applicable laws and regulations - including local zoning.
