FFL Dealer Network

FFL Dealer Network operates a searchable database of over 75,000 FFL dealers and gun stores nationwide. Their platform connects buyers with licensed Federal Firearms License holders who handle transfers, background checks, and firearms sales.

For Gun Buyers: - Search FFLs by state, zip code, or dealer name - Find local dealers for private party transfers - Browse firearms and ammunition posted by network dealers - Access background check information and transfer procedures

For FFL Dealers: - List your business to reach thousands of gun buyers - Post inventory and products to the marketplace - Diversify marketing efforts and gain repeat customers - Access resources on FFL regulations and business operations

Federal Firearms License dealers play a critical role in legal firearms transfers. They: - Conduct NICS background checks through the FBI - Complete required ATF Form 4473 documentation - Facilitate private party transfers (when buyers purchase firearms online or out-of-state) - Handle National Firearms Act (NFA) items with Special Occupational Tax (SOT) licensing - Ensure firearms are only sold to legally qualified buyers

"BATF does not have a rule on how many transfers must be done to keep the license. It does say if the FFL holder is trying to make money, that is good enough for a license."

The network provides: - FFL license type explanations (Type 01, 07, 08, etc.) - SOT tax information ($500-$1,000 annually) - Transfer procedure guidelines - ATF updates and regulatory news - Marketing tools and business courses for dealers

The site covers important distinctions: - Handguns vs. Long Guns: Handgun buyers must be 21+ and state residents; long guns can transfer across state lines to 18+ - Home-Based FFLs: Legal under BATF regulations; firearms can be shipped to workplace with employer permission - Transfer Timeline: Transfers must complete within 30 days of initial NICS contact
