    Women FFLs

    Just trying to put my business together, had my intial ATF visit a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if there are any other women gun store owners/FFLs willing to give some advice, tips, etc... So far I have only met stores owned by men and, sorry guys, they haven't been exactly welcoming.

        Welcoming to women, or welcoming in general?

          You might want to get ahold of Emily at Ade's guns in Orange. I knew two other female FFL's Flag Guns and KPG guns but both went under.

            Center Mass in Solano County (my area) is owned by a husband and wife. The wife is at the shop on a regular basis and may offer you some feedback. I've never discussed the FFL portion of their business with her and have only covered our mutual attraction to 1911s.

                  In general, especially if it comes to "business related" questions, such as, "who insures your business?"

                  I got an answer - "I'm not telling you anything!" rudely.

                          I believe Oaktree Gun Club's FFL is under California Gun Girls.

                            The resistance to sharing info you are getting is not gender based, I'm a man opening an FFL and it's been the same(8/10) for me too. Some People are afraid of competition and do their best to discourage new FFL's. Disregard those folks as best you can and stay focused.

                              Well, thats not great but glad it's not just me. So remember that when someone contacts you in the future! I don't think I will be that way.
