Manufacturing FFL Compliance Plans Begin With On-Demand Legal and Compliance Advice (the “Help Desk”)
We will provide answers to your inquiries in a manner that takes into account your specific business operations and objectives; we don’t provide you with “canned” responses.  FFL Law’s personnel and associated consulting firms have not only served their clients in the firearms industry, but they have also all been employed by firearms manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.  They understand the business-side of complying with the law and endeavor to serve their clients in a fashion that impedes business as minimally as possible.

Inspection Readiness and Facility Visit
On-site Facility Visit (Required for manufacturing FFLs)

The manufacturing environment is complex.  Transactions writing to your A&D Book and Forms submitted to ATF are only a fraction of the daily tasks that will impact compliance.  Sourcing, storage, the flow of parts throughout the facility, sales practices, and other daily activities will all have some impact on whether your company is in full compliance with the law.  FFL Law will visit your site and design a plan to continuously improve your compliance.

ATF Representation and Inspection Support

  • Unlimited Access to Attorneys and Compliance Professionals
  • Legal Representation Before the ATF

Don’t stand before the government unarmed.  If you had an inspection that did not go your way and you find yourself at a warning conference or revocation proceeding with your license at risk our attorneys will represent you at no additional cost.[1]

  • ATF Inspection Support

If ATF shows up at your door you will be prepared with our FFL Keys to Compliance™ and company policies.  However, if you momentarily forget or you are unsure of what to do you can contact us immediately.  If desired, we can arrange to be on site as soon as reasonably possible, or we can walk you through the process step by step.[2]  Our professionals have extensive experience with ATF inspections and have been involved in inspections comprised of hundreds of thousands of serial numbers, tens of thousands of records, and decades of ATF paperwork.

Manufacturing FFL Compliance Plans – State Firearm Regulations

  • You’ll receive a 25% discount on Orchid eState™. The app allows you to determine what type of firearm is lawful in which state without reading tediously through hundreds of laws and regulations. The app addresses assault weapons laws, magazine restrictions, and NFA restrictions (excluding silencers).  The app also provides links to relevant laws should you desire to research further on your own.
  • Believe it or not, the laws in a state across the country can affect your compliance. Beyond that, they can affect your sales opportunities.  FFL Law will provide you with information on pending state legislation across the country.  Although any firearms law may affect business in some way, FFL Law is the only firm that focuses exclusively on legislation that directly affects firearms businesses so you don’t have to comb through hundreds of bills that have no effect on your business.
