I Want an to be an FFL

[tenpercentfirearms]

You must have a physical address. That is why the first step is to go to your local agency because they will let you know what the zoning is for your area. Even my conservative town said not in my house.

One of the members at my club has a 01FFL with the address as his house. He's in the city of Colton (San Bernardino County). Not sure if they allowed it because he actually has an office that is separate from the actual house on his property (like a garage converted into an office).

Are there restrictions on getting an FFL and/or doing business out of your home - lets assume you just wanted to do some online business and not actually have a retail storefront. Or do you have to be in a commercially zoned area?

That depends on city and county ordinances. San Jose, for example, will not approve FFLs that do not have commercial or retail property.

SOT? I thought you just had to have a monitored alarm system. There hasn't been a "direct to the PD" style alarm system in a while, IIRC.

Yes, there are still "direct to the PD" style alarms.

Even my conservative town said not in my house.

Yes, some cities don't allow it, but if you had an FFL before city ordinances changed, then you most likely would have been allowed to keep it.

Ah, the calgun's dream. Usually goes like this ...

(# of firearms desired) x (FFL/DROS fees) = ...

OK, I am thinking of getting an FFL for myself...

But after all the bureaucratic red tap, county ordinances, city regulations, and neighborhood protest it usually just winds up being a dream. Hope it works out cause we can always use more OLL friendlies.
