Answer

If I remember correctly, the kit that I bought to help me get my FFl said to put down business hours and at least 4 hours per day. When the inspector inspected me I asked him what if I wasn’t here when he came to inspect. He said if you’re here you’re here. I’m working out of my house part time also. When you have a job it’s hard to keep business hours. I’m getting to the point I’m going to look for a part time morning job so I can try to keep business hours. I think it will be easier for me and the customers.

I just found the booklet that came with my course, forgot I even had it, and it states you do not have to be present during those hours if you do not have any appointments. I would assume therefore that I don’t have to tell ATF it’s appointment only. First I have to get these uninformed people at the local level to issue me a business license. Good luck and good clients to you.

Answer:

Yes, just put down your business hours and let it go at that. Good luck with your local business license. I had no trouble getting mine, just more time and money. Gregg

Thanks again Greg. Just got back from city hall. They said I can apply for a “contingency use permit” and go thru the planning commission public meetings. I’m kind’a worried whether ATF considers that a business license or not.
