Yes, one of the things that helped is that our "city" only has around 100 or so people in it and has absolutely NO zoning whatsoever. That was one of the big advantages to living 10 miles past nowhere. The BATF Agent came into Leona on Hwy. 75 and once getting inside of the city limits, he had to call me 3 times to find my house. I live directly on Hwy. 75 and had to wave to him as he got near to keep him from passing my house up, even after telling him the address and giving a description of my house. I am pretty sure that in a larger city, it would have been a no-go without an actual store, just as seamus said.

When I applied for my FFL 01, I told them it would be at a residence. When the BATF agent came to do my interview and inspection, I showed him the building I would be operating out of (not a store, just a site built building behind my home). He looked it over and said he didn't see any problem. We finished the interview and he left. About 2 to 3 weeks later, my license came in the mail. No big deal.
