C & R License
Have a question for the gang here...
I'm thinking of getting a C&R license...
since most of the guns I have acquired and look to acquire are made prior to 1970 (over 50 years old)... is it worth it to get a C&R License? .. the transfer fee at most FLL's is $25 so the $30 for three years for the license seems cheap enough.. for those of you that have one... how much of a hassle is it and do you find sellers hesitant to sell to a C&R License holder?... or should I go full bore and go for an FFL license (since I don't have a store-front... don't know if they still do "home-based" FFL licenses).. or do I just bite the bullet and stay with my current method of transferring thru my local FFL holder.. he's dependable and I do like to do business with local guys and keep them operating...

YOUR LAST STATEMEMNT SAYS IT ALL
C & R License
My opinion. Long time back, I considered this exact scenario. My decision, I did not want to give ATF warrantless access, at there discretion, to my domicile, a book containing every single personal firearm I own, every firearm I purchase, every firearm I sell or gift to friends and family. We are lucky in Louisiana a CCW allows purchase without instant background check, my FFL just records the sale in 'his' book.
It's the same in Texas.

thanks guys
Thanks for your thoughts.... I think I'll take JT's advice and stick with using my local FFL holder... he's a good guy and has helped me out before when I needed to sell a couple of my guns to help pay some bills... so he'll continue to get my business with much appreciation...
Missouri is a constitutional carry state so I don't "need" a CCL to carry here but I might give it a nother thought... don't have to do a call-in background check when I fill out the form at my FFL, and it might come in handy when and if I have to travel between states... like when I go visit family in Texas...
Thanks all ... much appreciation for your insights...
