Could a non-FFL legally operate a business renting out high quality hunting rifles in the same way high end cars are rented, if he only shipped to FFL's and received them back through an FFL?
I think this is the statute:
(C) as applied to a dealer in firearms, as defined in section 921(a)(11)(A) [18 USCS § 921(a)(11)(A)], a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms, but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms.
Would renting be "the repetitive purchase and sale of firearms"?
It would be repetitive and it would be for profit, but is it purchase and sale?
P.S. I am not going to be the person to try it!
