In order to qualify for an FFL you have to have posted "business hours" say you would be willing to help customers from 9am-3pm, Monday Through Friday you would have to post it in a window or similar location so that its easily visible.
You need to dedicate a room for your business.
You need to do business with the general public.
No you don't. Glock for example, does not do business with the general public, only with dealers, Military and LE.
I think the difference is they are an manufacturer. That would also hold true for a gunsmith, or refinisher. But if you are just going to be a reseller, there are different requirments. Unless they lied to me when I talked with ATF people, which of course is not out of the question.
Hell I'm sure if you went to BATFE web site you would get all the info you need .
No, there is no requirement to have walk-in customers or to even post business hours. Nothing at all has to be visible.
No, you only need a premises address.
No you don't. Glock for example, does not do business with the general public, only with dealers, Military and LE.

Find wholesalers is the last problem you will have.
i contacted several wholesalers, filled out applications and sent copies of my ffl. only 1 responded. it's been about a month so i'm gonna try again. heck, even getting on gunbrokers ffl list hasn't happened after several tries. don't know why it's happening but it's getting aggravating
