A Federal Firearms Licensee's Guide to Establishing Multiple Trade Names under a Single Legal Entity

摘要

This month's article will revisit general licensing issues that relate to the importation and manufacturing of firearms by Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), and specifically focus on the use of multiple trade names by a single legal entity. Previous The Legal Side articles have discussed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' (ATF) policy on FFL licensing, marking, and serialization requirements. This column will continue to educate you, the licensee community, on these topics by discussing a recent clarification in ATF policy on a single legal entity's use of multiple trade names.
