cleveland Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Posted July 31, 2012 *UPDATE* TwinOaks was spot on! I just got off the phone with the BATFE and from a legal standpoint an FFL transfer would be required for taking possession of a firearm for business use. As a holster business you can get an FFL that would be like a gunsmith's FFL and it cost $200 for the first 3 years and $90 for every 3 years period thereafter. Thanks TwinOak! I never would have considered this if you had not posted your response. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted July 31, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted July 31, 2012 You are most welcome. I've rented 'man cave' space at the local range/shop, and the owner is a very good friend. We see all kinds of issues come up, and this one has been addressed several times. He also declines people leaving guns for modification/repair, requiring them to be present until the work is complete. I didn't want to state it as Fact, since I've never done the homework on it. When I need the actual gun, I usually arrange to meet the person at the shop and take it to "the back room" and do the down and dirty molding....which I don't want the customer to see (can't give away all the trade secrets).
