You'll need to get the license from the local municipality in which you want to open your shop.  You'll be required to pay a license fee, and you'll also need to collect sales tax on any parts that you sell, and remit that tax to the state.\n\nYou'll also need a federal tax id number and you'll need a state tax id number.

Unless you are in one of the few communist states in America, all you will need to fill out is a 4473...all of your personal information, a question asking if you are the actual buyer of the firearm, several questions concerning any criminal record, a question concerning your american citizenship, another asking if you have ever denounced your citizenship, and that's about it...the store calls the FBI, they make sure you are telling the truth and you can legally own a firearm, and if you are approved, you're done.  Alot less complicated than it sounds...plus, of course, you must be 18 or older...

There is one for rifles, one for handguns and one for concealed weapons (usually handguns). You have to be 18 for rifles, 21 for the other 2, no felonies, clean record. They do a background check for all 3. Probably no automatic weapons (I think those are illegal in all states), but your local court house can help you.

My Husband and Sons are avid Hunters.  My Husband has taught our Sons how to shoot, take care of, and Respect what a gun/rifle/or/shotgun, can do.  He also has a subscription to American Rifleman.  There is a page in the Magazine dedicated to Armed Citizens, that have had Their homes, cars, etc. broken into, and having a Weapon Saved Their Life, and the Lives of their Families.  You need to keep the Safety on.  Some guns have double Safeties.  Keep Tt Out Of Sight, Out Of Knowledge, And Out Of Danger, Of Your Children, and Children visiting your Home.  You can buy a Trigger Locking Mechanism, or use a Lock Box. \nFind a Gun Range in Your Area, Where You can Learn How To Shoot It Without Harming Yourself, Or Some Innocent Bystander.  You may need to ask the Gun Range, or Your local Police Department how You can Transport the Gun to the Gun Range legally.  Where I Am at You take the unloaded Gun in the Trunk of Your Car, and put the Bullets up front with You.  If You get stopped be honest, and let the Police know You have it, have the Phone Number of the Gun Range with You so They can call them and see that You have made an appointment.  You just want to learn the proper way to use the Weapon.  \nThe people at the Gun Range can help You with How to Clean It.  If You decide to have a Gun in Your Home, and it has to be Your decision, be a Responsible Gun Owner.\nWhat I tell others, "I would never want to use it, But if Someone intends on Harming Me, I would like the chance to Defend Myself".  And I don't really like Guns.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nWe've included the NRA-ILA link for gun laws in California. Gun laws can vary by state. What Kalifornia requires can be (and is) different that what is required in the Socialist Republic of New Jersey. Federal law requires purchasers: of long guns be 18, of handguns be 21, of ammunition that can be fired in a handgun be 21. Federal law also requires any purchase from an FFL be accompanied by a NICs check (this includes any criminal conviction and a domestic violence conviction will be highlighted). \n\nAccording to the NRA, California law requires the following:\n\n"PURCHASE\nTransfer or sale of all firearms must be processed with a California gun dealer’s license. An application for transfer must be made with the gun dealer before any firearm may be sold or transferred. This application contains a description of the buyer or transferee and of the firearm. A copy is sent by the dealer to the California Department of Justice and the local police chief or sheriff. The dealer may be charged a fee up to $14 by the Department of Justice. If the Department of Justice determines that the buyer or transferee is not eligible to possess a firearm, they shall notify the dealer immediately. There is a 10-day waiting period before delivery of any firearm. Dealers must keep a register of all firearm transfers. A person under restraining order may not acquire any firearm.\n\nStarting October 1, 1993, no firearm capable of being concealed upon the person shall be delivered or sold unless the person receiving the firearm presents to the gun dealer a basic firearms safety certificate approved by the California Department of Justice.\n\nNo person shall make an application to purchase more than one pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person within a 30-day period and no delivery shall be made to any person who has made an application to purchase more than one pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person within any 30-day period.\n\nA gun dealer must post a sign advising “Iif you leave a loaded firearm where a child obtains and improperly uses it, you may be fined or sent to prison.”\n\nThe waiting period and dealer application do not apply to transfers to police officers, other gun dealers, manufacturers, or importers, antique firearms, and rifles and shotguns which are classified as curios or relics by the federal government, infrequent gifts or transfers to one’s “immediate family,” an infrequent temporary loan not to exceed 30 days to a person who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm, and a transfer of a rifle or shotgun at auctions by nonprofit or public benefit corporations.\n\nIt is unlawful for any person to transfer any firearm to a person who is forbidden to possess or own a firearm. A dealer may not transfer a pistol to a person under 21 or other firearm to a person under 18.\n\nIt is unlawful to purchase, receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm if such person is subject to a protective order, temporary restraining order or injunction.\n\nWithin 60 days of bringing a pistol, revolver or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person into this state, the person importing the firearm must complete and return a Department of Justice registration form or sell or transfer the firearm to a licensed dealer, sheriff or police department."

Look in your local yellow pages under gun instruction.If you are minor, you will have to have adult supervision before even they let you go to the firing lane.

Same answer as for your last question. But I'd add that you'd also probably have a good rep with gun dealers/ gun show circuit if that was your weapon of choice so there's a word-of-mouth element there. And practically speaking, you'd have to set up an off shore account where funds could be deposited directly, a system of getting calls on disposable cell phones where you'd get the info and do the job once the fee's been wired over, etc.  So the person who's hired you never actually knows who you are. \n\nBut I'm sure you've already found that out for yourself.....

Check your states laws first!  Consignment though a gunstore is the easiest but you may not get as much for it.  Some newspapers will not let you advertise firearms for sale.  Ebay will not let you sell your gun online, only parts.  There are online sites that do deal with gun auctions.  You'll have to do a search for them.  Try posting an ad at a local shooting range.  Most ranges have bulletin boards that you can list your gun on.  In some states you must complete a "private party transfer" through a Federal Firearms Dealer when selling to an individual.

In the area where I live, there are Gun Safety Education classes where a person can learn this kind of thing.  I took the class along with a local Boy Scout troop.  You can contact the NRA (National Rifle Association), who should have certified instructors in your area.\n\nI don't own any guns and I don't really like shooting for fun or anything like that, but I agree with you that it's important to learn.

should be several.  Start with the yellow pages  and look for gun shops  and shooting ranges.

Call the local ranges in your area and find one that rents guns. Shoot a few until you find one you like, talk to the guys there about what you'll be using it for and how often you'll shoot. They will give you a good idea as to what you should buy. Make sure you get an appropriate caliber for your purposes, shooting .357 ammo gets expensive quick but you can shoot 9mm ammo all day.

Look for a shooting park in your local area.  Josephine County Sportsman Park in Oregon has lots of shooting contest.  Black powder, rifle, guns etc.  You could also join the Army.  They always want someone that can shoot.

Phoenix,\n\nDepending on where you live, the State may be able to issue a concealed carry permit.  This usually requires an eight-hour course on handgun safety, and an application for the permit with a fee.  Needless to say, if you've ever been convicted of a violent (or, in some States, ANY) crime, you should not even bother.
