We just changed FFL's and other than finally meeting my first ATF agent (a real nice guy)I can not say it is any different than 10 years ago. The store front requirement is not a mandate from ATF it is a local or state thing. Where we are, you CAN have an FFL in your home. The fees really have not changed much beyond inflation since the 80's unless you are talking about destructive devices. Yes the paperwork and tax requirements are a real headache......but they will be for any business today. I will be honest, as a manufacturer, keeping up with the Virginia state tax deposits and records is just as bad as the Federal Excise Tax requirements. As far as local police approval; the only ATF requirement it that they be notified...all other rules are local.
