The Act defines a retail location as, "...a store open to the public from which a certified licensee engages in the business of selling, transferring, or facilitating a sale or transfer of a firearm..."

To help make this determination, here are three scenarios and how they would be defined:

  1. A big box store open to the public during hours of operation with a displayed inventory where the public can purchase and receive transfers of firearms. This is a RETAIL location.
  2. A residential dealer who has a designated area within his or her home, such as a garage or separate area, wherein during hours of operation, the public is able to come into this area to make purchases and receive transfers. This is a RETAIL location.
  3. A residential dealer who is not open to the general public, who conducts firearm transfers with individuals known to the dealer or who sets appointments for firearms transfers. This is a NON-RETAIL location.
