    2011 SHOT show

    I missed last years SHOT show because my inactive FFL would not let me input it. I have used this in the past and it worked fine. I think they inputed some new software that disallowed inactive FFL or some such thing. Does anyone have a extra place on their FFL's to allow me to go to the SHOT show?

    Thanks

    Last year I was able to go without an FFL number. I was still working on the FFL so I called their customer service to coordinate my pass. They didn't even request the information/documentation that their website said would be required.

    I would call them up and tell them your situation. If that doesn't work, I may have an open spot you can use.

      That is because they check your FFL against ATF's EZ-check website, or DL a copy of the FFL spreadsheet from ATF. So, if you aren't on either of those as a valid FFL, the sign up software won't allow it. that is why those of us who attend using our C&R 03FFL have to fax in a copy of our FFL. That is because 03FFLs can't be verified via EZ-check due to privacy concerns.

      Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

        Can someone post contact info for getting passes to the SHOT Show?
        I recently received my 03FFL and would like to get some passes if possible.

              Will I be able to get into the SHOT show using my C&R 03FFL? I attended the show last year, but that was because a gunsmith buddy of mine got me a pass. I was unaware that 03FFLs qualify...

                yes, you can register with a C&R FFL.

                jack: question about registration, C&R FFLs are still acceptable?

                Devon: Yes they are

                jack: how do we register, using the first "register" option insed of the "register iwth FFL ID number:"?

                Devon: One moment please

                Devon: If they have a C&R FFL (Curios & Relics) they first need to select Register on the first page of the Standard Registration portion of the online form then they will need to enter their C&R FFL number in the field that asks them to describe their Industry Affiliation on the first page of the Standard Registration portion of the form. If they select the option Register with FFL ID Number the system will not recognize their number.

                  You can also just geta NSSF membership. It's not hard to get into the show. I wish that they would make it harder though, since it's always packed.

                    didn't think you needed an FFL think all you needed was 1 a store front and a retail tax number not everyone at the shot show sell guns

                              You can attend with a FFL03 here's how:

                              You can attend if you have an FFL03 License. On the registration page
                              select the 'Register' option then fill in your first name, last name,
                              company name, email address then enter your FFL03 number where is asks
                              to describe your industry affiliation.

                              Regards,
