Well, after many years of engraving, I decided to bite the bullet and get my FFL. I had one in the mid 80"s and let it become inactive, not a really good thing to do. So, I filled in everything and sent it off, not knowing what to expect. Lo and behold, I received a response within two weeks, requesting just a couple explanations about my application. As I'm doing this out of my home, I needed to provide proof that I was not violating any zoning laws, which was provided by my license to do business from my address, cheerfully provided by my local city hall. The agent requested a face-to-face meeting which was done today. She was very pleasant and helpful, and I passed muster with no problems and should get my FFL within two to four weeks. So, I am now legitimate.
