>>>With respect to firearms dealers, the three levels of

>>>Federal. Every firearms dealer in the country must

>>>application's approval; and that the business will
>not
>>>be conducted until the requirements of state and
>local
>>>laws are met.
>>>
>>>State. The state requires every firearms dealer to
>>>possess a valid FFL; a State Board of Equalization
>>>seller's permit; a State Department of Justice (DOJ)
>>>Certificate of Eligibility (meaning that dealers
>>>themselves are not prohibited from buying firearms);
>>>and "any regulatory or business license(s) required

>>>local government." Dealers who hold each of these
>>>permits are placed on the state's centralized list of
>>>gun dealers.

>>>County. The County, in turn, requires every gun

>>>in the unincorporated area, and in cities that
>>>contract with the County for business license
>>>services, to obtain a Gun Dealers Business License.
