The letters FFL stand for a Federal Firearms License. This is a license that enables an individual or a company to legally manufacture firearms or ammunition.
Depends on WHICH FFL you want. The BATFE requires that you comply with LOCAL laws before they will issue the license, That includes things like zoning, business license, etc if you are looking at a business FFL.
