What is a Federal Firearms License Application?

Make no mistake - the mood in Washington these days is certainly NOT friendly to gun owners. The sudden shortage of what should be readily available ammunition attests to that fact. Our liberal lawmakers would like nothing better that to do away with any newly granted Federal Firearms License or, at the very least, make the application process much more difficult and complicated than it is today.

Just the words, Federal Firearms License are enough to scare people away. But as of this writing, it is still fairly easy to obtain a Federal Firearms License Application, fill it out properly, and receive your Federal Firearms License, as long as you know and understand the proper steps for doing so.

Simple Explanation of A Federal Firearms License Application

A Federal Firearms License Application is an application form that you fill out and submit to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (also commonly known as the BATF or ATF). If your application is approved, you then have permission to legally buy, sell, and trade firearms at wholesale prices. You can do this for a part-time or full-time business or for a hobby as a collector.
