What's the difference between 01 & 02 FFL

I looked it up, 01 is defined as dealer, and 02 is pawn store. What's the operational difference between these two types of licenses? Is there any gun that 01 can handle but 02 cannot, or reverse? Any info appreciated.

Did you check the BATFE site? I think it's ( www.atf.gov )

I did some search. BATFE site does not explain why they have 02, (or they have it but I did not find it). On wiki, 01 and 02 are defined as:

Type 1 Title 1 dealer or gunsmith. NFA (with class 3 tax stamp) other than destructive devices
Type 2 Title 1 dealer doing business as a pawnbroker

Looks like 02 being exactly same as 01, except the type of business (?)
