Starting an online guns and ammo store?

admin — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 06:31:36 +0000

I’m thinking about starting an online store selling firearms, ammunition, and firearms accessories. I would like to ask a few particulars before I get into the nitty-gritty of starting a business, especially this type of business. My state is Kentucky.

First off, I’ll start with the things that I already know, so then those who have gone through it can tell me what I have missed. I must:

1. Fill out a DBA form and check availability of desired business name.
2. Apply for a State Sales Certificate.
3. Apply for an FFL license.
4. Obtain an Internet address.
5. Set up an account with a firearms wholesaler to become a vendor.
6. Keep a record book of all transactions.

I do not plan to have a store location. I plan to have all merchandise in my home and ship products via legal methods (which I believe is Fed Ex Ground, but please correct me if I am wrong). I understand that if I have a store location that I need to notify my local and state police and have all firearms under lock and key after store hours. If I plan to hold all merchandise in my house (where no one would know I have firearms and ammunition), must I notify police and have it locked away?

I also understand that my inventory must be quite large to be successful, so any advice on business loans would be appreciated. I will most likely sell an assortment of small arms, both modern and vintage.

Next I’d like some advice on shipping. Obviously I need to ship merchandise in boxes, but how to obtain the boxes and how to package the items is something I have little experience with.

Thanks very much to all answerers.

Does www.fastfire.biz actually sell bullet-firing automatic guns?

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 23:42:58 +0000

www.fastfire.biz had an ad in the back of a magazine of Shotgun News i picked up the other day, advertising that they sold a wide variety of full auto guns chambered in .25acp (like a Browning Baby would use) that apparently would be mailed to the door of anyone over 18 years old, no licensing needed. I looked through their site, and at first it looked like this was gonna be just airsoft guns, but it doesn’t mention airsoft anywhere, only .25 (and .25acp specifically in a few places) which is not airsoft caliber. So am i to understand this site would allow an 18 year old to order a full auto .25acp UZI with silencer for 0 after you add ammo, and legally do whatever they want with it? I mean sure .25acp is not a very lethal round, about like a .22short, but still, an automatic firearm is still an automatic firearm, so how is this not a huge federal crime to be selling automatic handguns to people under 21 with no FFL license requirement on the shipping?
Why did i post this in hunting? Well i’ve tried posting gun questions in general outdoors with very little result compared to the hunting section (where all the gun guys browse). I admit i believe the Hunting section should be just hunting, but i also believe it is the most appropriate area currently for gun questions, until they create a seperate "shooting sports" group in outdoors for something to cover target shooting, paintball and airsoft, and everything else that currently has to answer under Hunting although it really shouldn’t.

How come my white FFL said he would only hold one firearm for 7 days before the next one arrives?

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 20:54:58 +0000

But I switched to another FFL who was mexican american and he said he can put up to 5 firearms in his 4403 form. I even asked this on the firing line forums, and they have never heard of the 7 day limit holding with the ATF or whatever. I think my ignorant white FFL guy was thinking I was going to use them to shoot up some place. He probably doesn’t know that I already graduated.

Anyway, hope this doesn’t scare anyone, and liberals that I’d like to be apologetic to, but when chaos breaks out, I want to protect myself from whites. My white FFL is okay and a bit friendly though and tries to give a good deal, but I’ve found a better deal with my mexican FFL. It’s a tad cheaper and plus my white FFL was out of town for almost a week, and I sent the money order in already expecting him to complete the FFL license transfer, so I needed someone else to do it.
Also mostly need when chaos breaks out even in CA by some white supremacists. I heard Eric Phelps claiming that the Chinese will come over and kill and rape them, and that he will take no prisoners. So I gotta watch out for psychotics like that, especially when you know what happened to indians/middle easterns after 911.
Oh yeah and for the details, I asked my mexican FFL if he had a timeframe for holding one firearm before the next arrives and he said no, which he explained that the form can hold up to 5. He is charging total or was it 40, and the other guy is charging 50$. Which is the cheapest out of all the FFLs I’ve found. The other ones who are white charge 20$ per handgun. And one time I called this Bill Manciani guy and he charged more than his old quoted price; per handgun. What a ripoff.
Mexican FFL has his own site to get rates from his wholesalers too. And he said I could’ve gotten this one item for 25$ cheapers, and said I should consider asking him next time for deals.

What is the worst gun shop you ever been too?

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 12:00:36 +0000

I live in Ca, several shops here, should have their FFL license revoke or at least get new owners. One shop I been too, the dealer allows you to hold the weapon but if you check the action and other necessary steps a person usually takes to buy a firearm, he says you broke it, and he also calls you cheap and you have bad taste when it comes to picking firearms. Another shop deals with law enforcement and are rude to the average citizen, You can be waiting for up to 15 minutes even with cash in hand and the person will not let you hold the weapon or even give you proper service and are very rude. There are only like two good gun shops that service the customer well. What is the worst gun shop you ever been too?

Handgun shipping question?

admin — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 20:54:59 +0000

If I want to sell one of my handguns through a handgun auction site how do I ship it to someone in another state legally? Is it the same as a rifle where I as the seller do not need an FFL license but I do need to ship it to a business with an FFL license? Also I was told that only UPS will ship handguns and you have to use the one day delivery option for handguns, is that true also? When I checked the price to ship one day via UPS the cost was on average of .00 to ship most places. If you have to ship one day shipping for a handgun why on some of the auction sites they say shipping to anywhere .00?

Do I need a license to own a Stag arms gun?

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 01:42:35 +0000

I live in Georgia, which is a free carry state. What I want to know is whether it has anything that would require it to be under a FFL license like being fully-auto or having a short-barrel. I am a lefty and their left-handed configurations interest me. I may or may not hunt with it.
Thanks guys, these were all such good answers I can’t decide which is the best. So I’m just going to let the voters decide.

Firearms License Questions?

admin — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 11:22:14 +0000

I was wondering……I have made plans to start machining my own firearm….my plans look like a semi-auto 9mm rifle but the overall length is not 26" and the barrel is not 15"….in all its about 20"….I’d like to take a while to make my first one and then just over time build about 10 to give to my family…..What license would I need? I am applying now for a FFL license but do I need a class 2 manufacturers license? and to sell them would I need a class 3 license? I think class 3 costs 0 dollars but what about the manufacturers? And would I have to renew and pay that amount ever single year? I live in Texas by the way….would my family need to get licenses to own the guns?
If I extended it would I just need to have a class 2 license?
