FFL threshold

[cowzrul]

At what point does an individual stop selling "personal" firearms and become a "dealer" thus requiring an FFL? Two a week? Five a week? I see some of the same people selling a lot of black rifles with no 4473 requirement. I have always wondered at what point are you required to get an FFL.

The first rule of FFL threshold club is you do not talk about FFL threshold club.

The ATF decides arbitrarily on a case by case basis based on their precise judgement. It's all based on perception with them. If you look like a duck they're going to treat you like a duck.

What dustin said, but a good rule of thumb is, if you are making more money selling firearms, than you are making at your job, you're a dealer.

I'm thinking the threshold is far less than that. Like ANY profit at all on a regular basis.

I think the book said if you were making a living on them. But that book is hard to keep up with!!!

Theres a hand full of people on here i know buy and sell a lot that have no FFL....... I dont think it slows them down.

It's a rigged craps game where the feds bring the dice.

I wouldn't want to bet my freedom on getting away with it....

don't ask, don't tell. seriously though.ffl holders may have a legitimate gripe. we all sell guns. some we sell for profit, some we may take a loss on. there is no specified law as to how many you can sell like there is for cars if thats what you're getting at. maybe there is,i don't know
