Yes, Even the ���Little Guy��� Can Be a Bona Fide Gun Dealer

We talk a lot about the importance of developing multiple streams of income, in this day and age. The economic infrastructure of the United States has changed in such a way that there has become an emerging class of worker who is not entirely full-time, and not entirely part-time. These people have found themselves generating income on the basis of a ���patchwork��� approach to working. A number of factors beyond their control have conspired to create this situation; among them are substantial constraints now placed by the federal government on businesses, including onerous health insurance requirements, that now prompt many small- to medium-sized businesses (the ones that employ most of us) to employ fewer full-time people. In the face of all of this, you have to make do, somehow.

For those of you who are more conservative-minded, you likely already have a real interest in firearms. Have ever considered the possibility of getting involved, part-time, in the gun business���spending more time in a realm you enjoy while also further insulating yourself from financial uncertainty? Becoming a federally-licensed firearms dealer is one of the easiest ways to do it. Having a FFL opens up a new world to you as a small business person; as a matter of fact, not only do you then have the ability to actually sell guns yourself, but you can make decent money simply processing transfers of firearms.

What is a gun transfer ?

There are plenty of online stores from which guns can be purchased. However, the store cannot ship the gun directly to you on the basis of an online purchase; it has to be shipped to a FFL in your area. From there, all of the required processing is done, and you then take your gun home when it is completed. The FFL handling the transfer charges a fee, of course, for that service. $50 is very common. What���s important to note here is that a lot of larger outfits with FFLs don���t want to be bothered with transfers ��� they���re only interested in the guns they���re selling. Fair enough. However, that reality opens up an opportunity for you, as the ���little guy.��� And we���re just talking transfers here.

If you���re looking for a way to add more money to the family coffers, and you have an interest in firearms, you might do well to consider becoming a federally-licensed firearms dealer. It���s even a business that you can run from your home ��� no storefront required. With the average markup on guns running about 30 percent, becoming a home-based firearms dealer means you have a leg up on the local, storefront, retail competition because of your lower overhead. Processing just a few gun transactions in the lower-dollar range ($300 to $500, these days) could see you earn several hundred additional dollars per week, even while undercutting the competition.

If you are interested in picking up your FFL, it���s a good idea to get some solid guidance on completing the application ��� when applications are kicked back by the ATF, it���s typically because they���re incomplete or were otherwise filled out incorrectly. There���s no reason to make that mistake; for just a relative few dollars, you can grab this comprehensive course on establishing your own, home-based gun dealer business that includes, among so much other great stuff, step-by-step instructions on how to complete the government paperwork and other requirements that unnecessarily trip up so many. Bonus ��� the course comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee; so, if you decide, after tearing into the materials, that becoming a FFL is not for you, or you just have a change of heart, then you can get your money back, no questions asked.
