The Ultimate FFL Resource Guide

If you are thinking of becoming a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), or if you already are an FFL, you must have a thorough understanding of the laws relating to your business. Not only does understanding the law help you succeed in business, it also protects you from making a costly mistake that could send you to jail. The law that you must know comes from multiple different sources, including both state and federal statutes. It can be confusing, unclear, and filled with pitfalls for the unwary. This book puts the law in an easy to read, accessible format. This book is designed to provide guidance for FFLs who are not lawyers, and yet are expected to understand and follow the law as well as any lawyer educated in the field. Anyone with an FFL will find useful information that will aid in running a successful business and staying on the right side of the law. Starting with basics such as who needs a license and other principles you need when formatting a business, you will find guidance for issues at all levels of the industry. In these pages you will find everything from managing day-to-day practices for dealers, gunsmiths, and SOT holders; regulations related to manufacture, import, and export of weapons; and many other issues that you will face on a regular basis as an FFL. Not only will you find the black letter text of the law, you will also find commentary on how the law should be implemented in your industry. While this book is not intended to be a substitute for legal advice from an attorney in your state, it is meant to provide a basic understanding of the ever-changing world of firearm laws and help point FFLs in the right direction – the direction of success.
