Summary: A firearms business owner supports the proposed rule to clarify that adjacent properties with common access points can be treated as a single business location for FFL licensing. They argue that the current definition creates unnecessary compliance uncertainty for small businesses and that the change will reduce arbitrary enforcement.
'Small firearms businesses — including the local FFLs I rely on for transfers and service — benefit from clear licensing rules that reflect their actual operational footprints.
I support the proposed rule clarifying that adjacent and adjoining properties sharing common access points may be treated as a single business location for FFL licensing purposes.
Many small firearms businesses operate across multiple adjacent buildings or parcels — a common operational reality that the current regulatory definition does not adequately address. This clarification removes ambiguity that has created compliance uncertainty and potential licensing complications for dealers whose operations are otherwise fully lawful.
Clear, practical definitions reduce arbitrary enforcement opportunities and support the lawful commerce in firearms that the Second Amendment protects. I urge ATF to finalize this rule.
