The BATFE & Your Gun Dealer License

Posted July 3rd, 2009.

To get your Gun Dealer License you will need to get a Federal Firearms License (FFL) application from the BATFE and fill it out.  Once your application is completed, you will need to decide what type of license you want.  The BATFE will inform you within 60 days if you have been approved for a firearms license.  If you are approved, then the license is valid for three years at the place of business shown on the license.  It will need to be renewed every three years to keep it valid.  You will not receive notification from the BATFE that your license is about to expire.
