Re: Federal Firearms License Types
I'm going to chime in on the SOT's...
From http://www.quarterbore.com/
"Class 3" refers to a firearms dealer who has paid a special tax, called the "Special Occupational Tax" (SOT) to deal in machineguns and other National Firearms Act (NFA) weapons.
Machineguns, Sound suppressors, Short-Barrel Rifles and Shotguns, and Any Other Weapons (AOW) are all regulated and taxed under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) as amended by Title 2 of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968.
Semi-auto and all other firearms except large-bore or explosive Destructive Devices are regulated under Title 1 of the Gun Control Act (GCA).
What most people mistakenly call Class 3 is properly referred to as NFA or Title 2 firearms.
A Class 3 SOT dealer is a dealer of NFA firearms
A Class 2 SOT manufacturer is a manufacturer of NFA firearms
A Class 1 SOT importer is an importer of NFA firearms
Type 1 FFL is a Title 1 dealer or gunsmith
Type 2 FFL is a Title 1 dealer doing business as a pawnbroker
Type 3 FFL is a licensed collector of Curio & Relic (C&R) firearms
Type 6 FFL is a licensed maker of ammunition and reloading components other than Armor Piercing ammunition
Type 7 FFL is a Title 1 manufacturer of firearms, ammunition and ammunition components other than NFA, Destructive Devices and Armor Piercing ammunition
Type 8 FFL is an importer of Title 1 firearms and ammunition
Type 9 FFL is a dealer in Title 1 firearms including NFA destructive devices, but no other NFA
Type 10 FFL is a manufacturer of Title 1 firearms, ammunition and ammunition components, including NFA Destructive Devices but no other NFA, and not including Armor Piercing ammunition
Type 11 FFL is an importer of Title 1 firearms, ammunition and NFA Destructive Devices, but no other NFA
To get a Class 3 SOT status, you need a dealer or manufacturer FFL which includes Type 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 - and pay a yearly $500 tax due every July 1st.
To get a Class 2 SOT status, you need a manufacturer FFL, which includes Type 7, 10 - and pay a yearly $1000 or $500 (reduced rate for small manufacturers) tax due every July 1st.
To get a Class 1 SOT status, you need an importer FFL, which includes Type 8, 11- and pay a yearly $1000 or $500 (reduced rate for small importers) tax due every July 1st.Last edited by bige64; March 2nd, 2009 at 03:53 PM.

Re: Federal Firearms License Types
does an 07 license also cover for a 01 license or do you need both.

Re: Federal Firearms License Types
Yes it does (to a point). Here is what the BATFE says:
(C4) Does an importer or manufacturer of firearms also need a dealer's license?
No, as long as the importer or manufacturer is engaged in the business of dealing in firearms at the licensed premises in the same type of firearms authorized by the importer’s or manufacturer’s license.

Re: Federal Firearms License Types
Does anyone know of any state or local, (I live in Cranberry TWP) requirements pertaining to the application for a FFL? I intend to do business online, (no brick and mortar store front for now). I've received my application from BATFE and gotten fingerprinted. I've looked at the PA state, (PA.gov) site for relevant info but so far I've got nothing. BATFE also suggests I check with local authorities as well. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Federal Firearms License Types
You'll have to have the PA State Firearms license. You get it from the Sheriff's Office. For the local stuff, go to the the township office to inquire if there are any local permits needed for this type of business.

Re: Federal Firearms License Types
Much thanks Ron. Do you mean a license to sell firearms or a LTCF, (CCW)?
