Following FFL Requirements
The federal government mandates that you follow certain Federal Firearm License (FFL) requirements before becoming a licensed gun dealer. Under the Gun Control Act, a dealer is defined as anyone who is engaged in the business of selling firearms at wholesale or retail, repairing firearms or making or fitting special barrels, stocks or trigger mechanisms to firearms or who is a pawnbroker. Being engaged in business means you are a person who devotes time, attention and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of obtaining livelihood through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms.
