As Jibb described, you basically have to have a "brick and mortar" gun business.
Thats not true, guy I work with just got his last month and his only "business address" is his house.

From nogoodjr's post from an ATF website:
Daylower, I hope your co-worker enjoys his FFL. Maybe he can cut you some good deals. :-) I guess your co-worker must be running his business from his home. While not a "brick and mortar" business, it's still a business. I'd think that using his home address would open him up to to possible city/parish/county zoning issues for the business. Don't forget state and federal taxes for the business. Oh yeah, there's also the issue of keeping impeccable records required by the ATF of gun sales. The business hours have to be posted w/ the ATF so they can potentially audit the business records during business hours.
Bottom line, the ATF will expect an FFL holder to be in the business of selling guns, not just adding to their own collection. Seems like a lot of trouble for a savings of only $25/gun. The last few guns I had a local dealer order for me were at lower prices than what he could get them for.
