Yep, You got me! I mis-read or mis-remembered it!

When I looked into getting a C&R license and went to the city of Tacoma to get a business license I was told that because I was within 500 feet of a elementary school it would not be granted.
?
Why would you need a business licence to get a C&R licence?

Why would you need a business licence to get a C&R licence?
Most municipalities require a business license for people that do business and a C&R is defacto proof that you intend to operate a firearms business.
Not at all. A C&R (curio & relic) licence specifically prohibits one from "doing business." A C&R holder can sell off guns in his collection with the aim of acquiring different ones, but ordering a gun specifically to sell to someone else is sehr verboten. Basically all a C&R licence "allows" one to do is to have guns shipped to their home for their own collection.
Hmmm That is info I did not know. Thanks for posting it.
Q: Does a license as a collector of curio or relic firearms authorize the collector to engage in the business of dealing in curios or relics?
No. A collector’s license only enables the collector to transport, ship, receive, and acquire curios and relics in interstate or foreign commerce, and to make disposition of curios and relics in interstate or foreign commerce, to any other licensee, for the period stated on the license. A collector’s license does not authorize the collector to engage in a business required to be licensed under the Act. Therefore, if the acquisitions and dispositions of curios and relics by a collector brings the collector within the definition of a manufacturer, importer, or dealer, he shall qualify as such. A dealer’s license must be obtained to engage in the business of dealing in any firearms, including curios or relics.
