BTW, there was a husband and wife couple sitting next to me, waiting for their case to be called, I think it was a commercial RE variance. The woman held up crossed fingers to me and mouthed the words, "We hope you get it." When I was leaving, her husband said out loud to me, "You got a raw deal. Good luck."

My amp and guitar tech want to sublease a small office space to me for $200ish/mo, commercially zoned by Deer Valley Airport. Looks like I'll have no problem getting an FFL once I do the paperwork for everything with the new address.

^^ That sounds, dare I say, ideal...And perhaps even better than you could've hoped for if you planned it that way! A simply AWESOME development!

UPDATE

Got my new rental space, re-applied, my app was fast-tracked to a different investigator due to my new space being in a different zip code, interview at my office was today. There were some hiccups, but he said I should have my FFL in 3-4 weeks. Let the business planning commence!

Congrats, my two go to’s for firearms wholesalers are RSR and Sports South. Try getting set up with them.

That's awesome, congrats!

UPDATE

Got my FFL today.

I belatedly realized it might not be delivered to the mailbox cluster at my business address because I had not put my business name - Freewill Firearms - inside the mailbox. And that's what happened. ATF called today to say the package had been returned, but no worries, they'd just scan and email me the FFL and then resend the package to my home address - exactly the opposite of what my IOI told me. But I'll take it. They emailed it to me within minutes.

If you're in N. Phoenix and need a transfer or order, hit me up.

I thought I'd put this story here. A local cop buddy sent me this. I think I will call this FFL today and strike up a friendship. He's been through the same BS I had to endure. But looking at his address, he has far fewer neighbors than I do, yet the neighborhood Karen was able to gin up 500 signatures on a petition, obviously from people who live nowhere near this guy's 150' radius for the zoning adjustment notification requirement.

Congratulations on your FFL, sounds like AZ is loaded with California Karens.

Congrat’s! Always glad when someone jumps through the hoops to get an FFL. I’m an FFL, Manufacturer, SOT holder here in the DFW area..I might have mentioned that earlier, sorry if I’m repeating!

yes, we are - and its a disease that needs to be eradicated

its sort of discouraging to know these people wake up every morning and look for ways to be unhappy and then spread that unhappiness to everyone else

too bad there wasn't a better solution but these karens are just mentally unstable to begin with

Congrats, and BTW, that's a great name.

The Karens definitely deserve a lot of the blame. But so does the City of Phoenix for its egregiously selective enforcement of zoning code.

Congrats Rick!
And yes, the City of Phoenix is run by dipshits.
