How To Get FFL License With Multiple Names?

FFL License Setup Steps

Setting up your FFL is a decision that requires a little bit of thought. Some decide to get their federal firearms license strictly as an individual while others choose to set up a LLC or other more formal corporate structure. You also have the option to add a trade name (like Bob’s Guns, etc.), or as a legal entity- several trade names, to your FFL license.

Don’t let the vast amount of options confuse or overwhelm you; you can always choose to stick with the simple path. However, if you’re entering …

Get around NFA

The National Firearms Act of 1934 was the culmination of decades of vicious gun control efforts based around ethnic and socio-economic discrimination. In an effort to prevent the “wrong” sort of social and ethnic groups from accessing certain commonly known firearms, the US government passed a sweeping gun control act that effectively denied access to safety equipment like silencers, commonly used weapons like short barrel shotguns and rifles, and readily available machine guns that were safely used by many law abiding Americans.

In the name of suppressing criminal activity and enforcing social control, these firearms and safety tools were subject to …

Drop in Auto Sear DIAS

Drop in auto sears (DIAS) are a near-mythical part for AR-15s that, when used with certain other parts, can convert them to full-auto fire. For a long time they were openly sold and marketed to consumers with the implication they were perfectly legal to own as long as you didn’t actually use it. After all, it’s just a part, right?

Well, no, not really. In the eyes of the government, there is no reason to own a DIAS unless you intend to use it, and using it is quite illegal in most cases. That didn’t stop a vigorous trade in them …

Biden's Gun Control Agenda

Every Democratic presidency since Clinton has simply echoed itself from administration to administration. Trapped in some 1990’s fantasy of tough on crime gun control and some demented Age of Aquarius ushered in by banning guns that look scary on the theory that people will start loving each other and never commit violent crime if only guns that looked the wrong way were banned.

The reality is aside from being forever trapped in 1990’s statist policies of social control and government domination over American’s daily life, the Democrats want to ban guns for the simple reason of control. People who support the …

Sometimes It Isn't Easy Getting An FFL - FFL123

Many people regard an 03 Curio and Relics FFL as the easiest one to apply for and get. In reality, this is pretty much the case. The 03 FFL does not require fingerprinting, business and professional licenses, or even a meeting with an ATF examiner. Because it is a limited purpose item intended to make procuring guns 50 years old or older and certain other guns determined to be primarily of interest to collectors, the 03 FFL uses a simplified application process. And yet, as you will see, even that process can go completely haywire and take months to resolve!

ATF form 1 Guide

You’ve probably heard people talking about an ATF Form 1. But what is an ATF Form 1, what does it do, and how can you use it? Well, the short answer is that an ATF Form 1 is what you file when you want to register and make an NFA device at home. Yes! You can make your own NFA devices as long as you can own them where you live as long as you fill out some paperwork.

But as with anything that awesome, reality tends to make things a big convoluted. And of course we all know the government …

Biden Could Destroy Gun market - FFL123

To coincide with the anniversary of the Parkland Florida shooting, President Joe Biden released what can only be described as a “wet dream” of gun control. One might also call it a wild delusion that seems to fit his “sleepy” demeanor and questionable levels of awareness. However, we can all be pretty sure that either the people pulling his strings are pushing for this wild crap, or that Biden is trying to relive his 90’s glory days when the Democrats pushed through the ill-fated and ultimately useless 1994 ban on so-called “Assault Weapons.”

What is certain though, is that we are …
