trained staff, clean, secured firearms
All the best to your efforts to get an FFL and set up a new gun shop/range.
Here are some important points to think about;
1 Train your staff and hire employees who understand guns, ammo, holsters, etc. I've been in many sporting goods/gun stores where I knew more than the sales clerks, . The staff should understand basic state/local firearm laws and be able to answer simple questions.
2 Keep your property clean. I hate rental ranges that are dirty, firearms that have not been clean since Jimmy Carter was President and have no air/vent systems. A proper range should have fans/AC/vents and buckets/cans for paper/spent brass.
3 Be able to secure your products and weapons in off hours. In my area, several smash and grab thefts have occured at gun shops. Gangs steal a car then bust into the store to grab as many guns as possible. Some stores secure the handguns at night or in off hours. This is a good idea.
