    Hey guys,

    A friend of mine has a business in Lousiana that does vehicle inspections, title work, and sells hunting / fishing licenses. They asked me if I had any idea what is legally required for them to stock and sell factory ammo (not reloads, as I thought I had read somewhere that reloads were a different ball game). Anyway, I did a couple quick searches and didn't come up with much. Can anyone give me an idea of what hoops they would need to jump through to throw some factory ammo on the shelf for sale?

    Thanks in advance!

    Technically you don't need an FFL if you are not selling remanufactured ammo but you will need a resale certificate with tax stamp and business license. However most large distributors require an FFL to do business with in any bulk. If he can't buy in bulk folks are better off buying at established chains at better prices. I've had an FFL for almost 10 years. Hope this helps.

    In remanufactured ammo I mean as such loaded by yourself or persons in your business. That require an 06 with an 01 first.
