The Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C. sec. 923(d)) empowers the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms the ability to regulate businesses engaging in firearms sales and service.

- Has not willfully violated the GCA (Gun Control Act) or its regulations;
- Has not willfully failed to disclose material information or willfully made false statements concerning material facts in connection with his application;
- Has premises (which in many cases can be your home) for conducting business or collecting for C&R; and the applicant certifies that:
1. the business to be conducted under the license is not prohibited by State or local law in the place where the licensed premise is located;
2. within 30 days after the application is approved the business will comply with the requirements of State and local law applicable to the conduct of the business;
3. the business will not be conducted under the license until the requirements of State and local law applicable to the business have been met; and,
4. the applicant has sent or delivered a form to the chief law enforcement officer where the premises are located notifying the officer that the applicant intends to apply for a license.
5. secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place in which firearms are sold under the license to persons who are not licensees ("secure gun storage or safety" defined in 18 U.S.C. 921 (a) (34)
