arthurkuchuk 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.

JED1177 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.

I operate my firearms business from my home and have no problems with distributors. My home is a bonafide "business address" as it is where I conduct business. My license shows my "premises address" and a "mailing address". I have no idea what you mean by a "private address".

zippy13 ...some time ago I heard that FFL's wouldn't be issued unless you had a "store front" address...

Internet myth. I started hearing "no home based FFL's allowed" during the Clinto era. So untrue that it is laughable, this myth continues to appear on internet gun forums. The majority of FFL's operate from their home. ATF will not however, issue a Federal Firearms License unless the licensee is operating legally at that location. Meaning the licensee must have any required permits, sales tax certificates, meet zoning laws, etc.
