because you have to get a lisence

In the U.S.? Real easy. Go to NRA.org for your starter kit.

It partially depends where you are. If someone tried to open one in my small Pennsylvania town I'm sure the town council would raise hell and reject them, just like they did to the people who wanted to build a car dealership. I go to school in Washington DC where you can forget about ever getting permission. Most places in the country are more reasonable, however, and will eventually allow you to open such a shop if you can prove safety.

First of all, you people need to get your facts straight. It's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that regulates commercial firearms dealers. NOT the NRA. The NRA does have some decent resources and informational stuff that can point you in the right direction, but you need to contact the BATFE to obtain your Federal Firearms License, which is the document required of all firearms dealers that would allow you to buy and sell firearms. You will need to have alot of things in order before you file your FFL application, such as a commercial location with the proper zoning. Contact the BATFE for all of the information and requirements.

Not "Hard", Expensive. Basic tools would include a large Lathe, Mill & their Accessories...$10K. Welding gear...$3K. Parts Cleaning, Polishing & Blueing Equipment...$3.5K. Special "Hand Tools", benches, vises, anvil etc....$2.5K. Parts Inventory??? Building, Shelving, Utilities, Advertising, Insurance, Municipal Fees??? This is about the minimum I have invested. BATF is the "Regulator" who will do Ur "Background" check, but don't expect anything "Good" from the NRA, I & many other feel "Betrayed" by them "Cutting Deals" with the Feds to ensure the NRA'S place as the Only "Spokesperson" for "Gun Owners". Check out Brownells & others here on the Web for good Ideas as well. John
