Again, the myth that will not die......

SwampYankee If you actually are going to own a storefront and legitimately do a gunsmithing business, getting an FFL is not a problem, assuming you pass the background check, etc. Years ago, a lot of people would get FFL's just for the convenience and run a "shop" from their kitchen table. The BATFE starting cracking down on this 20 years ago but if you have a storefront, it's generally not a big deal- aside from all the darn paperwork and rules....
Horsehockey.
ATF has no problem with home based or "kitchen table" dealers....I'm one and there are THOUSANDS of others....kitchen table FFL's outnumber retail storefront FFL's.

There is no requirement under Federal law, nor is there any ATF regulation that requires a 'real store" and "posted business hours".....ATF & Federal law do require that the applicant have a "licensed premises"....which can be a storefront, a residence, or a cardboard box in your backyard. As long as the applicant can legally operate a business from the licensed premises he will be approved.
