Orchid LLC and Williams Mullen’s Firearms Industry Group announce industry attorneys and federal agency personnel will examine the responsibilities of an FFL “Responsible Person” at the 2022 Firearms Industry Conference (FIC), to be held in Atlanta on April 25–27. Compliance professionals will lead educational sessions that dive beyond the definition of an “RP” and examine the role’s responsibilities, best practices, and associated personal and professional risks.
“Responsible Persons play a critical role in managing operations and making compliance decisions for their FFL,” said Phil Milks, Orchid VP and lead attorney at FFL Law. “Yet, we find many professionals in the position are challenged by the term’s real-world interpretation and application. That’s why we’ve dedicated three sessions at this year’s conference to educating current and future RPs about how to perform the job to best comply with ATF regulations and pass FFL inspections.”
Attending firearms law attorneys and FIC 2022 sessions include:

“The firearms industry is constantly evolving with new laws and regulations,” said Chuck James, partner and co-chair of Williams Mullen’s Firearms Industry Group. “To be successful as an FFL ‘Responsible Person,’ an individual must not only be adept at addressing compliance changes, but also the impact of such changes on the legal entity itself. One of our goals at FIC this year is to help professionals become more confident and more successful in their role as a ‘Responsible Person.’”
The 2022 FIC event will be held April 21–27, beginning with a new, two-day virtual educational series, FIC On-Air™. The conference will continue in-person with pre-con FIC workshops on April 25, followed by the main event.
