Microgunner: One inconvenience for me when I opened a stand alone gunshop was that the ATF required I have the building secured prior to issuance of license for the purpose of inspection. This meant I had to lease a spot, initiate utilities, secure insurance before I even knew I would be approved. With deposits and first months I was well invested for at least 2 months before I could even think of making any money. It was as though the cards were purposely stacked against the small dealer.
Get your home as the original "licensed premises" first. Then amend the license as stated below.

I doubt ATF will issue you an FFL for property you do not own or have under lease. There is no ATF requirement to have utilities or insurance at ANY licensed premises. You could have one of these as your licensed premises in the back yard http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...egoryID=524467

ATF FAQ's:

(C11) May a licensee change the location of the licensed business or activity?

To change your location, you must file an application for an amended license, ATF Form 5300.38, not less than 30 days prior to the move. You must obtain the amended license before commencing business at the new location. The application for an amended license includes a certification of compliance with State and local laws and notification of local law enforcement officials.

[27 CFR 478.52]
