You do not need a license or permit to own a machine gun registered before May 1986, just the tax stamp. The same goes for silencers (suppressors), short barreled rifles/shotguns and AOW’s made on any date.

The ATF form 4 is used to transfer NFA weapons between unlicensed persons. The tax stamp is $200, but the ATF routinely approves them as long as you live in a state that allows them. See here http://www.subguns.com/c2c3/c2c3.htm for lists of dealers. Forms are available at http://www.titleii.com/ . Advice on owning these weapons is available on http://www.subguns.com and http://www.silencertests.com . The form 4 has to be signed by the local sheriff and then sent in with fingerprint cards, passport photos, and a form 5330.20 attesting to US citizenship. If the sheriff will not sign, then you can form a Corp. or trust to own the weapon for you.

Class 3 means Special Occupational Taxpayer dealer. Class 1 is for importers, class 2 for manufacturers. The ATF form 7 is the application for various federal firearms licenses. The ATF form 1 is used by unlicensed people who to make NFA weapons.

There is an easy rule of thumb to determine if the Dealership is doing its job and your not working a flooded floor. Divide the number of retail sales by the number of Salesman. On average a car salesman will sell 10 cars a month. A Dealership that sells 100 retail cars a month should have no more than 10 salesmen (500 sales – 50 salesmen). Once you’ve determined you’re in the right Dealership, you then need to make the most of your situation.

How is your appearance? Do you smoke cigarettes? Would a customer want to spend 15 minutes on a demo with you?

Car sales have traditionally been a male business. There are a couple of pitfalls you must avoid being a woman. First never, ever, ever go on a Demo without getting a photocopy of the customers Drivers License and then leaving the copy with your sales manager. Second – Wives buy cars! Don’t attempt to sell the husband a car and ignore the wife. The wife will spoil your sale every time.

You will not sell a car to every customer on the first visit. Customer follow-up determines the best salesmen. You should get most customers on a Demo – that will get you their addresses for a post card. (You photocopied their Drivers License for your safety and follow-up). If the customer gave you a phone number – a polite call every couple of days is a good idea.

Once you become a sales manager it will become your responsibility to generate floor traffic.

I gave my opinion to an Internet Sales Manager on how to generate floor traffic last week here at Yahoo! Answers. Click on my name and look for my advice to – “I am an Internet Sales Manager at a car dealership. How can I drive more traffic in to see me?”

Good Luck

Don’t expect to be able to bully the dealer into lowering the price because you won’t succeed after you’ve signed the contract.

These have some advantages:
- Effectively unlimited lifespan.
- Lower heat production
- Reduced electrical drain, and lower parasitic power to the alternator.
