ATF has always looked at location of the business and zoneing as well as personal background. It used to be one could get an FFL and operate a business by appointment only they no longer allow that and you are supposed to have regular hours and be open to the public. IMO the ATF has been steadily makeing it harder to get an FFL and makeing it harder to keep one, suspending them for such things as handwriting on the forms doted I's and crossed T's that sort of BS. I think since the ATF is run by the same anti gun ultra lib folk who have about taken over our government they are slowly and stesdily takeing gun rights by attrition. No dealers no firearms in public possesion. Same as with ammunition and getting local ordinaces passed to make ammunition and components hard to get or store with out huge cash outlays. I hear in Kalifornicate they have a law that every gun owner has got to have locks and/or a safe' sure it is good securaty but just one more burden on the casual gun owner. Say an average guy with say a deer rifle a rimfire and a shot gun and maybe a handgun why should he have to spend hundreds of bucks on a safe? I can see it for folks like me I have several centerfire rifles, four or five shot guns and a few rimfires and several handguns. I have two locking cabnets one holds five long guns and the other holds twelve, and I have a few things hid in places around the house. I need to get a good fireproof safe that will hold a couple dozen long guns, and truat me it is on the list of things to do. But I will be GDed if any government pin head is going to tell me I have to, or what sort I have to get. Sorry for the rant I get going on this stuff and get off track somtimes.
