The first thing you need to decide is what kind of firearms license do you want and is there a special kind that you need. There are nine types to select from and they are: Type 1 Dealer or gunsmith other than destructive devices, Type 2 Title 1 dealer who is doing business as a pawnbroker, Type 3 Licensed collector of curio and relic firearms, Type 6 Licensed manufacturer of ammunition and reloading components other than armor piercing ammunition, Type 7 Title 1 dealer and manufacturer of firearms other than destructive devices, ammunition and ammunition components other than armor piercing ammunition, Type 8 Importer of Title 1 firearms and ammunition, Type 9 Dealer in Title 1 firearms including NFA destructive devices but no other NFA items, Type 10 Manufacturer of Title 1 firearms, ammunition and ammunition components including NFA destructive devices but no other NFA items, and not including armor piercing ammunition, and Type 11 Importer of Title 1 firearms, ammunition and NFA destructive devices, but no other NFA items.

There are also certain conditions that must be met in order for you to obtain your FFL. You will be approved if you are 21 years of age or older, you are not prohibited from handling or possessing firearms or ammunition, you have not violated the Gun Control Act, you have not failed to disclose information in connection with your application and you have the right premises for conducting business. As you can see, it really isn’t difficult to be licensed if you know how to get your FFL and that you make sure that all of the requirements have been met before sending in your application.
