Primary-source ATF data, PII-safe

US Active Federal Firearms Licensees

77,361 active FFL holders across 55 states and territories, drawn from ATF's April 2026 Federal Firearms Listing. Historical archive covers January 2022 through April 2026 (51 monthly files; April 2022 was not published at source and is not in the archive). Sole-proprietor names are stripped at source so your team stays out of consumer-PII scope.

Why this dataset matters

The 77,000 active FFLs are the exact ICP file for firearms-friendly payment processors, gun-shop insurance carriers, two-step distributors (Davidson's, Lipsey's, RSR, Sports South), ammunition wholesalers, and compliance SaaS vendors. Sole-proprietor names are stripped at source so the file stays out of CCPA / state data-broker scope while preserving the marketable signal: business name, address, phone, license type, and a flag identifying sole-prop license holders so you can decide whether to target them through their business name. The current build is a point-in-time snapshot through April 2026 ATF data; an annual-refresh subscription option is available on request.
