I recently received my 01 in the city of Corona. I pretty much following the sticky in this forum to make a list of things that I needed and then started checking things off as I went. The whole process took me about 6 months to complete and a handful of cash. I keep a log of what I was doing (see attached).
I went thru the whole process to make some side money (still have a full-time job) and, I personally, abhor having to go to my LGS to buy anything and got a little tired of the "counter commandos." I've never been an armorer or, hunting guide, or long-range shooter, or <insert stereotype here> but, rather was just a firearms hobbyist that decided it would be an OK business to get into. Plus, in California, you have a pretty captive audience. When the time comes that I decide that I need a B&M store though I'll probably move the business out of state.
If there is any help that I can offer let feel free to contact me.

Any home based 01 FFL's in Riverside County? Specifically, Temecula, Murrieta and Winchester? I was looking into getting an FFL, home based (FFL transfers, PPT's, cerakoting, machine work, etc). And I know in San Diego, they stopped that years ago. But since I am retiring from the Army in about a year, I was thinking of moving my family up north, and wanted to do something along the lines like Gusslers in Santee.

I am in the process of doing more research online, just thought I would also ask while I am searching. Thank you!

I can't help other than to say that yes there are home-based FFL's here (not me). I do all of my purchasing these days from a home-based 01FFL in Riverside (inside city limits), so it is possible. So much nicer that going to the LGS and dealing with the counter commandos, as cliffv said.

Hey Cliff Thank you for the reply. That is good to know, and thank you for the link. I briefly looked at it before I posted, but I may have to read through it tonight. Thank you sir!

Ok thank you for the information! I am looking up info to see if they are currently still giving out FFL's to homebased businesses. I know in San Diego County it was fine, until they stopped, and all the ones are now grandfathered in.

You can search for -01 ffl's by zip code on the BATFE website.

I downloaded the STEPS file. I didn't realize it was for YOUR business. Quite impressive and extremely informative. I plan on retiring in a few years and was wondering what to do with the extra time. Your plan would take up all that time and more to get started, but seems worth it. Congrats!
