Homebased FFL’s

Curious as to people’s feelings and experiences on home based FFL’s? Good experiences, bad. What could have made experiences better. Any reservations in why those that have never contacted one as to why you haven’t?

I’ve considered it and the cons outweighed any benefits. Namely, it’ll attract all sorts of people to your home address. Some businesses run gun shops out of their basement like Chester Arms, LLC and they’re willing to take on the risk because they own the house; it’s low overhead and they can be more competitive. I know an individual that has an FFL at their home and they consistently get people coming up their driveway expecting a gun shop. It’s not ideal and wants to move the business elsewhere.

If you have a C&R I hardly think anyone would care but it limits the scope of what you can do.
