Anybody tried getting an FFL out of their residence lately?

I'm considering applying for an FFL in the near future... Where I'm at in Wyoming it's not a problem.

My question is about the feds. Anybody gotten an FFL in their residence lately? I have a separate shop in the back that I would specify as the business premises so they would have no legal right to enter my residence for inspections or whatnot.

Any input?

When you both speak of hangups with zoning... which level of government are you referring to? Feds? State? Local? The reason I'm asking is that our state does not regulate FFL holders, and my local area treats it as any other business. I'm mainly interested in the federal perspective....

I'm zoned res, but my local area has no problem with issuing a business license to a home. They don't want warehouses in backyards, but a license is fine.

Are you saying the ATF will have a problem with a res zoning even if my local area doesn't?

What is ATF's concern with zoning? Do they just want me to be legit with the local area, or will they not issue an FFL to a structure zoned residential even if it's ok with the local government?

Ok.... so it sounds like I'm good. I've been living in CA for the last several years, and the CA DOJ would not allow licensing of anybody who wasn't in a commercial building. Wyoming is arguably the most gun-friendly state in the nation, so this state is not my concern at all. I just wanted to make sure I was good to go with the feds.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
