Hey, have a bunch of questions about registering my own FFL. Mostly because a) Why not? and b) Simpler (and maybe cheaper?) procedures for getting new toys.
For context: I own a property, and I'm finishing building my own private shooting range.

So, if anybody who has done this:

1. Does this allow you to avoid paying background check fees?
2. What ATF interview looks like?
3. Type 01, or type 07? I'm not sure about machining parts myself, but I probably will be doing some Cerakote jobs for friends occasionally. Not sure if 07 is needed for this tho.
4. Any side income you got through creating your own FFL? Like bg checks for neighbours, etc.

Edit/Upd: On FFL finder I see a bunch of neighbours having FFLs, which are definitely not business and for convenience or "private use". Which pushed me into this topic.

Amount of light and visual noise is just too much for me. Especially after hard stressful day.

I recently, first time in my life started living alone. And in couple of months I moved from common “I use lights in the evening” moved to “I take shower with light from candle, and don’t use lights in the evening at all.” I moved to rural area , literally forest. And I have late night walks around the forest with my dog. Without lights. Just in moon light. It’s so calming down and beautiful.

I haven’t bred happier in life, full of electric light. I just love to be in darkness.
