Federal Firearms License

A Federal Firearms License (FFL) is a license issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in the United States, allowing individuals or businesses to legally manufacture, import, or sell firearms and ammunition. There are different types of FFLs depending on the specific activities one intends to conduct, such as dealing, manufacturing, or gunsmithing. Obtaining an FFL requires an application process, background checks, and adherence to federal and state laws. It helps regulate the firearms industry and ensure responsible practices in firearm transactions.
