Brand new FFL, so I apologize if this seems like a dumb question. I've been all over DOJ's website, but can't find anything that states storage requirements for home-based dealers. ATF only required a door with a lock ie. lockable cabinet or closet. Will this be good enough if/when I get inspected by the State?
