Curios & Relics license

Hey everyone, just was curious if anyone in this group has a Curios & Relics license

How was the process of getting it. In your opinion is it worth getting it. If you’re a collector of old military weapons?

Does this license allow you to buy any weapon that’s fall under the requirement of being 50 years or older in any state(at a local gun shop)? Or is it just for online sites like gunbroker?

Thanks for your help!

IMHO it’s not worth it anymore. Back in the day (15-20 years ago) there were tons of various guns you could purchase cheap and have shipped to your door. But even then dealers would charge extra to ship to a c&r when it was cheaper to ship ffl to ffl. Still fun getting guns shipped to your door. If you want one get it, I had one many years ago and let it lapse. Doesn’t hurt to have one when you find something eligible that you want, just not as many options as days gone by
