All this because I've got folks at work encouraging me to get an FFL.
which sounds good on paper. Once YOU laid out cash, time and jumped through the hoops to procure your FFL, EVERYONE who said to get it will vanish like a dealer working the corner when a LE rolls by. it is a cutthroat business that competes with internet sales for accessories and dealing with established shops who have 30-90 days net with distributors.
If you were looking to do it to save yourself mark up prices weigh the initial outlay vs. how much you actually spend per year.
I may be wrong on this next part (haven't we heard that before) BUT i think (key word) any firearms you take in as an FFL must go in your bound book. this could put a damper on any FTF deals you do. AGAIN i could be wrong, or it is a gray area
YMMV
