What you need to know about the class3 licence

There are two main licences one needs in order to deal in firearms. There is the FFL- Federal Firearms Licence and the FFL SOT (Special Occupancy Tax) licence commonly known as the Class 3 licence. This latter licence caters for the firearms not covered under the FFL. These are the NFA (National Firearms Act) firearms and they include short barrelled rifles and shotguns, machine guns, grenades, silencers/suppressors and disguised guns. To deal in NFA firearms you request the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) for FFL application forms as well as paying the SOT annual fee to BATFE.

Since the BATFE make the FFL and class3 licence approval processes very difficult, you may need some help from people who have already successfully gone through the process. At www.ffl123.com you will find Brandon Maxx who holds both the FFL and the FFL class 3 licences. He has successfully been running a home based firearms business and has written affordable guides to help people obtain these licences.
