New FFL looking for advice
I am a new FFL and I am about to launch a new online gun store.
Can someone advise me regarding firearms whole-sellers that will do business with FFL that doesn't have a storefront. From the research that I did, most of them want to see storefront. Links or any advice will be appreciated. Last edited by arthurkuchuk; October 15, 2010 at 07:24 AM. |

Try writing them and including your FFL number. The most they can do is tell you no and maybe they will advise you of some other distributer that will work with you.

Issues...
Most distributors will only ship to a bonifide business location and not a private address. The real issue you will have is the shippers themselves delivering firearms when they find out it is a private address.

Greetings arthurkuchuk, and welcome aboard
Your well advised to get an brick-n-mortar address that that's in a area zoned for your activity. Just out of curiosity, some time ago I heard that FFL's wouldn't be issued unless you had a "store front" address. Perhaps I was misinformed or the policy has changed. Of my buddies with FFLs, most problems have arisen because of a failure to keep the required federal and state records up to date and correct. |

GunsAmerica.com....
Good websites IMO to check out include:
www.Blackhawk.com www.GunsAmerica.com www.USCav.com www.Cheaperthandirt.com www.JGSales.com www.Galls.com If you plan to sell gear, clothing items, ammunition, equipment etc get well known/major brands NOT cheap mall ninja-flea market crap. 5.11, US Cav, Blackhawk, Safariland, Galco, Blade-Tech, Bianchi Intl, Mpro7, Weaponshield, Gunzilla, Eezox, Hoppes, CorBon, Buffalo Bore, DoubleTap Ammo, Winchester Ranger T, Remington Golden Saber, Speer Gold Dot etc. Sell firearms, clothing and gear that customers could & should use not cheap #%+^ you can make a quick buck off of. These vendors & resources will work with you to both look good and make $$$. That's my input. CF ps: Train up your sales staff or store employees so they know-understand the industry. If a customer talks about Jeff Cooper or Massad Ayoob or says they heard Milt Sparks makes good holsters, they don't flake out or look dumb. Remember; "I don't know = I don't care." |
