A Federal Firearms License (FFL) is required for anyone engaged in the business of selling and/or manufacturing firearms.
An FFL holder with a Massachusetts state dealer's license is also able to avoid certain potential liabilities caused by differing interpretations of MA guns laws.
This class explains the benefits of getting an FFL, outlines the licensing process, and acts as a step-by-step guide to getting the necessary federal, state, and local licenses, permits, and other items you will need if you wish to do business selling and/or manufacturing firearms in Massachusetts.
Handout material will include a booklet with a printed copy of the class presentation, examples of the various applications needed, and a link to a resource page with all relevant material assembled in electronic form.
While this class will be useful for anyone wishing to obtain an FFL, much of it will focus on the requirements for doing business in Massachusetts.
