Be still my heart. I really like my Effector (it might be an Effector copy).

Yep. (reply)

I had to get a zoning variance approval letter from the city. Austin said no way, Ft. Worth was a routine deal. Also an approval letter from the property owner of record, just the landlord won't cut it. So if you rent a shop in a little strip center or some such, you better know who the actual owner is, and their attitude.

In Austin, I rented a space in an antique store in Buda, a small town next door in another county. The shop owner was cool, the man who was buying the building was cool, the town of Buda was cool. But the man buying the building was making payments, and the deed had not been transferred to him. This made the "owner of record" a little old lady in Austin who had a s**t hemmorage over guns in her building. That killed the whole deal.

"shop out in the country" concept...probably better off in the end!

Let me know if I can help with the process in any way.

Take care, John.

Matt

I did, even went to the zoning board - still denied. (reply)

John K. — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 23:27:47 +0000

I submitted nothing would be visible, no traffic in and out. Still denied.

When I pointed out that the agricultural zoning allowed me to buy and sell tractors in my front yard, they said yes, that would be fine. I can even build a church on my property. No guns. The problem here is the city hired a bunch of "professional" city management people from out of state.

I'm in process of building a 4000sq ft. shop at my farm out in the county, ten miles from the nearest town of 400 people... once I get set up there, no more city for me.

You've been missed old friend... (reply)

Glad to see you're back up and running again.

If you would, please shoot me an email with your new email and phone number(s). I tried to call you a few weeks back and neither number I had worked.

Hope to see you in Clarkville.

Have you tried getting a home-based business variance? (reply)

matt/pa — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:50:36 +0000

I ran into a similar issue in my last location and requested a zoning variance for a home internet business...no customers, no advertising, no traffic, no signs, etc... just a home based on-line business.

My local zoning inspector was OK with it. The ATF required that the zoning variance stated it was for home-based on-line internet sales of firearms (no just "sporting goods" as I first tried). Once the zoning variance was correctly worded and approved, I had my license in a few months...

Just a thought...hope it helps.

Dang. I forgot about local issues. Obtaining a business (reply)

John K. — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:59:40 +0000

license is usually instantaneous for a county, but inside the city limits it can be a nightmare if you are not zoned commercial. I can't get one in my city and without it, the feds won't issue the FFL. Even tho I'm at the edge of town and zoned "agricultural".

All because of BS "zoning".

Do you have a new email address? (reply)

matt/pa — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:10:04 +0000

tried to send you an email to the address I had and it bounced back... Mine hasn't changed (bigbore45colt @ ptd.net, removing the spaces around the @).

Am interested in that 624 you have listed.

Matt

Dangit Jack, you just HAD to put up a 624 on GB.... (reply)

Glad you're back in business, but you are going to end up costing me serious money sometime.

Thanks, Tom. You bet we will be there in June!! (reply)

Welcome Back! (reply)

I rent, too, and normally think of it as advantageous, but that's quite a story.

I suppose a lot depends on the [*AHEM*] character of your friendly, local ATF agents.

In any case, I'm glad you made it throught the ordeal, and I look forward to seeing your new listings.

Cheers!

I had a bit better experience than our friend Arch here.

I emailed my address change to the ATF and got an acknowledgement from them 3 weeks later. The next day, I had a call from the local agent with a few minor questions and had my new license a week later.

I am now officially back and "in business".

Hope all is well with you and Jan. Looking forward to seeing you guys in June.
