Is Getting an FFL Right for You?
If you’ve been thinking about getting into the firearms business, there’s a good chance you’re here for one of these reasons.
Operate from Home
Many FFLs legally operate from home. The course helps you understand whether a home-based FFL fits your goals and local requirements.
Build Firearms
If you want to manufacture, customize, or build firearms, you need to understand which license fits that activity.
Start a Business
Whether you want to sell locally, online, or part-time, an FFL can become the foundation of a real firearms business.
Add an SOT Later
Thinking about suppressors or other NFA firearms? The FFL is the first step, and the SOT course is the logical next one.
Buy at Wholesale
Gain access to distributors and stop wondering how dealers get access to the firearms marketplace.
Become an Industry Professional
Move from consumer to professional and work directly with customers, distributors, and manufacturers.
Why Getting an FFL Feels So Complicated
Most people don’t fail to get their FFL because the process is impossible.
They fail because they get stuck in the fog.
YouTube says one thing. Forums say another. Someone insists home-based FFLs are impossible. Someone else tells you the ATF won’t approve anyone anymore.
Before long, a simple goal turns into months of research, doubt, and second-guessing.
The good news: you don’t need hundreds of hours of research. You need one clear roadmap.

Is the FFL Course Enough, or Should You Get the SOT Bundle?
For most people, the Get Your FFL course is all you need. But if you already know you want to manufacture or deal with silencers and other NFA firearms, the bundle will save you time and money.
Most students who already know they want to go beyond a basic FFL choose the bundle because it saves money and prepares them for what comes after the license.

Still Have Questions?
Can I really get an FFL from home?
Many FFLs are home-based. Whether it works for you depends on your business intent, local rules, and the type of activity you plan to conduct. The course helps you understand the issues before you apply.
Can the ATF really search whenever they want?
No! The ATF can only inspect during gthe business hours you choose and they aren't allowed to inspect more than once every 12 months.
Am I giving up Constitutional rights by getting an FFL?
No! You still retain ALL of your rights. You are simply agreeing to provide records and access to your FFL inventory as part of a compliance inspection. In a way, this is similar to getting a driver's license and agreeing to provide documents if you're pulled over.
Do I need to be a lawyer to understand this?
No. The course is designed to make the process understandable for normal people who want a clear path forward.
What's the total cost?
That depends on which license type you choose and whether you also become an SOT.
On the low end, you can get a Type 01 dealer's and gunsmith's FFL for $200 for the first 3 years ($67/yr) and $90 for each three year renewal afterward ($30/yr) or you can get a manufacturer's FFL for only $150 for the first 3 years ($50/yr).
If you want to become an SOT, in most instances, it's $500 per year but that means NO tax paid for each item manufactured or transferred.
How long does the entire process take?
Once you submit your application, it will take 2 months for the ATF approval.
What if I choose the wrong FFL type?
That’s exactly the kind of mistake this course is designed to help you avoid. You’ll learn the differences before you submit your application.
Will this help me prepare for the ATF interview?
Yes. A major goal of the course is helping you understand what the qualification interview is for and how to prepare for it.
Can I just hire Ryan to do this for me?
Yes. However, it doesn't make sense for most people to hire Ryan as their attorney to walk them through the process one-on-one (that's why he made this course).
If you'd like to explore hiring Ryan personally, you can book an initial consultation at $650/hr and packages start at $5k annually.
Should I add the SOT course?
If you plan to deal in suppressors or other NFA firearms like machine guns, short barreled rifles, and more, then the SOT course may be a smart bundle. If you only want a basic FFL, you can start with the Get Your FFL course.
