1) What does the inspector look for/not care about with the premises? In my case, my initial setup will be in my home in a front office. I have a large, dedicated safe, a security system, proper HOA permission, and an official LLC, including federal and state tax IDs.

2) What kind of questions should I generally AVOID asking? This may sound silly, but I'd rather not ask things that would impede my ability to get approval

3) I don't have business insurance set up yet, since my ability to create business transactions depends on getting the FFL. Will that be an issue with the inspector, or do they not care? Do any of you have recommendations for insurance companies? My homeowners insurance is with USAA, but I'm disinclined to give them additional business due to their anti-CHL positions. Do any of you recommend Joseph Chiarello (referred by the NSSF) or somebody else?

4) Legal issues: While I don't expect to have legal issues, I'd rather have a number to call in advance. Any recommendations here? Particularly in the Austin area?
