Is Mobile FFL a thing?

[Bigbluesky]

Is there a requirement for FFL/CFDs to conduct all of the business at their licensed premises? Or is it possible for a dealer to be "mobile" and go to the customer to initiate the process (run the DROS) and/or handle the final delivery? I've heard rumblings of mobile FFLs but I can't find any real information one-way or the other.
Seems if that were possible, a concierge FFL might be a nice niche. And if not, oh well, our Ca gun laws are awful anyway.

Yes. Unless you go to gun shows then there is an exception with stipulations.

With a few exemptions, all business must be conducted at the FFL's address. [PC 26805]

Sadly, not legal to do so.
