Different types of FFLs

[Franky4Fingers]

OK, so lately, I've been sick of these handgun transfer fees and I've noticed alot of people that need this service. I have been thinking (if its possible of course) could I get a FFL to do handgun transfers? Like how some people become a notary to do title transfers for cars and stuff? Is there a class of FFL of that?

There is not a "limited" version of a license. To do transfers you would need a 01 license (or maybe a 02 license, not sure, would need to read up on what an 02 can actually do).

Here are the different types of licenses:

While I'm a bit farther away from you, I only charge $20.00 for a transfer.

There are actually a couple of members of this board who do this in the Pittsburgh area. They operate an FFL out of their homes and specialize is individual transfers and online purchases, but don't run a "gun shop" or maintain any inventory or make direct sales themselves. They pretty much exist just to give people a cheaper option for online and personal transfers than most gun shops.

I'm guessing no one is doing this in your part of the state?
