I'm planning on getting a Type 7 FFL w/SOT. The business address is going to be my place of residence. I go to college full time and want to make sales online during some of my spare time. I plan to sell guns and accessories (not in inventory) and possibly sell a few that I custom assemble.
My question is, If I set certain business hours, then the ATF could come in at anytime during those hours (and they don't have to call first). What if I had my business hours over the weekend, but one weekend I decide to go and visit family and it just so happens an ATF inspector shows up while I'm not there.
What would happen? What should I do? Any suggestions? I don't really want to set in stone my business hours, because to be honest I wont be working on a strict schedule. I might get home from school, do homework and then spend an hour online with my website and paperwork. I might spend a whole saturday with it or I may be busy on the Saturday at Family events or studying for an exam. My hours working with my weapons sales would be sporadic.
Would the ATF make an exeption for a busy college student with a girlfriend and kids? Would they give me the priveledge of ATF inspections by appointment?
