Washington Home based FFL, Clark County Washington

[SunTzu]

I'm finally taking the plunge on getting my ffl in rural Clark County, Washington. I have 5 acres with a house and a shop. Eventually, I plan on getting my SOT as a manufacturer, but I'm starting with FFL. I do have an "ffl mentor" who is also an sot who has shown me the basics of getting started. I live on 5 acres zoned r5, outside city limits and outside growth boundary. Purpose for ffl would be gunsmithing and transfers to select clients. I plan to do transfers, but I already specialize in low-light night vision and thermal optics, so that will definitely be part of the business.

I do have an LLC, actually a few of them, but I'd like to get set up as a "home business" with my LLC with a view to getting a separate address for my barn, such that I can list the barn address as my "place of business" on the ffl. Yes, I'm aware that the barn needs to be secure and I have access to safes, security systems, locking gates etc.

Has anyone in Clark County, WA outside city limits and urban growth had any luck with getting a separate address on a structure for a business?

Thanks in advance.

Just call it "[Your Address], Unit B"?

Apparently you would first ask your local government to assign an address for the shop building, then if they do so, ask USPS to register it.

Will the new law that starts next July affect your business? Or is it for ffl's that just sell firearms?

this won't be a problem for me. but good to know. *storing for 6 yrs is a big hassle, edit of edited edit... down to 90 days' storage.

like 10 years ago, my go-to local home based FFL stopped his business. because he said he was not able to afford all the new rules that ATF demanded.

hope that is not the case for you, good luck!
