If you have ever purchased firearms before then you know that there are a lot of regulations involved. You have to provide state ID and in some cases permits and other identification. The dealer must perform a backround check on you and you have to wait 5 days to get your gun. There are also various fees involved in this process ranging anywhere from $25 to $100 dollars. One thing you can look into is buying wholesale firearms. You can get them much cheaper and avoid a lot of fees.
Why buy wholesale firearms? Well you may be a collector, or maybe you would like to become a dealer of firearms. This is a very profitable business. In order to buy wholesale firearms you will first need a federal firearms license.
I know what you are thinking. This must be next to impossible to obtain. Before I got my federal firearms license I thought I would have to jump through hoops for years to get it and was thinking “Is it even worth it?” Well I can tell you that it is very much worth the trouble and the process was really not that bad.
Some things you need to consider before applying for a federal firearms license are your backround and the various fees. First of all you need to make sure you have never violated the gun control act. If you have any kind of felony on your record that prevents you from owning a gun don’t even think of applying. Below is a list of a few more requirements.
You must be at least 21 years old.
You must be able to tell the truth on your application and not deceive the ATF in any way.
You must have a place to run your business out of. In some very select states or situations you may be able to use your home, but this is usually not the case.
You must be able to safely store firearms and ammunition, as according to the laws of your local state or town laws.
There are also more things to consider, but it is all worth it if you are going to be able to buy wholesale firearms. You can get some great deals and also make a very nice profit.

Federal Firearms License Obtaining A Federal Firearms License
If you want to buy guns at wholesale prices, or sell guns as a dealer or collector then you need to obtain a federal firearms license. Some people think that this is an impossible process, but it really isn’t. Below I will outline how to obtain a federal firearms license.
Becoming a dealer of firearms is a very profitable business. After September 11th things have gotten more strict, but you can still get a license. There are certain requirements that you must meet to obtain a federal firearms license. Here are some of them.
First of all you must be at least 21 years old. In some states the minimum age is 23 years old. You cannot have any felonies on your criminal record that prevent you from having a gun. Your record must be very clean. You must provide all information to the federal licensing authority. You must be allowed to engage in business in the united states, or be a citizen of the U.S.A. You must have an actual place to sell guns or do your business. You can’t sell guns online or out of your shed or something like that. Rent a building or storefront as your business headquarters. Your business must adhere to all local and state and federal laws. You must also notify you local police department about the address and premise of your business. In some states you must get a letter from the police department for the federal firearms license application.
Your store must be setup to properly and safely store firearms. You can check with your local police department on what the guidelines are to properly store firearms. Remember it is your second amendment right to bear arms, so if you have everything in order you will not have any problems.
The application fees vary depending on what kind of federal firearms license you are applying for. If you just want a collector’s license then the fee is usually around thirty dollars. These are considered non destructive firearms. If you want to become a dealer of destructive firearms then the fees can reach anywhere from $2500 to $3000 dollars.
Becoming a dealer of guns can be a very profitable business. If you have a federal firearms license then you can buy guns much cheaper than the average consumer, so you can make a nice profit.
