I couldn't find a better place to ask this question, I know that several of you here are gunsmiths, hence FFL holders.
I intend to start a gun shop out of my home.
I realize that a couple hundred of you are already copy and pasting your well worn "don't do it" replies, but I won't be dissuaded; I think I can fill a niche market and make it worthwhile.
The question I haven't been to Google an answer to is: What does the ATF require as far as the premises? Is there a requirement for a steel gun safe? Do you have to have a separate entrance for the gun shop part? I'll have minimum retail traffic. My county and neighborhood have no pertinent restrictions regarding home businesses.
I want to find out if I'm going to have to modify my home, and if so, how much? It's a typical ranch style house with locks on the doors and has windows in every room. I'd like to store what little firearm stock that I'll maintain in a locked closet in the interior part of the home (not adjacent to an outside wall).
I want to have my ducks in a row before sending the app in.
Thanks!
