A Federal Firearms License (FFL) is required for anyone engaged in the business of selling and/or manufacturing firearms.
An FFL holder with a Massachusetts state dealer's license is also able to avoid certain potential liabilities caused by some unfortunate state laws, as well as differing interpretations of those laws.
Click on the "Sign Up" button below to buy the video of the 7/6 class. I will be available for questions afterwards. Payment will be through PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account (or wish to use a different payment method), click the "Check Out" button on the next page after clicking the button.
This online class explains the benefits of getting an FFL, outlines the licensing process, and acts as a step-by-step guide to getting the necessary federal, state, and local licenses, permits, and other items you will need if you wish to do business selling and/or manufacturing firearms in Massachusetts.
Handout material is downloadable from our resource page, which also contains all relevant FFL material assembled in electronic form.
While this class will be useful for anyone wishing to obtain an FFL, much of it will focus on the requirements for doing business in Massachusetts.
Please note: A follow-up class entitled "How to Operate as an FFL" is in the works. Stay tuned.
Please note that our normal cancellation policy will be modified as follows during the COVID-19 emergency:
We will issue a full "no-questions-asked" refund for any personal health-related cancellation provided you notify us one full day before the class.
Contact us via email, or by phone at 978-486-8080 or 617-320-8012
(Jim Finnerty, Instructor).
We would rather have you stay home than attend if you're not feeling well, or have been exposed to COVID-19.
No-shows with no prior notification will not be refunded.
Space in each class is limited, so we must enforce a strict cancellation and no-show policy.
If your plans change, you can contact us via email, or by phone at 978-486-8080 or 617-320-8012 (Jim Finnerty, Instructor).
If you cancel your registration four or more days before the scheduled class, we will either refund your tuition or move you to a class that better suits your schedule.
If you cancel your registration for a non personal COVID-related reason within four days of the scheduled class, less than one day before for any reason, or don't show up, you will forfeit your tuition.
