Hi,
My friend and I are considering opening and co-owning a gun store in South Carolina. We want to sell Title II firearms and the Class 3 License is pricey at around $3000 for 3 years not to mention the other expenses that will pop up.
Does anyone have a store? We are deciding to make the store a corporation or LLC etc. I personally would like to avoid the double taxation of a corporation but I also would like for both of us to not have to buy the Class 3 license. What are the advantages of having the business be one or the other? Is there a "norm" that most gun stores go by?
If I had the corporation licensed to buy and sell firearms would I be able to buy them for my own personal collection? Or would I also have to buy another license for myself since a corporation is considered a separate entity by law?
Thank you my friends
