C&R Application - Visit from the ATF?

[Technosavant]

Any FFL, be they 01, 03, or whatever, still has to abide by local laws. DC has their own special set of passive aggressive laws, so I'm not really surprised at their garbage.

Kind of ironic that if you are interested in having freedom, two of the places in this nation where you DO NOT want to live are the seat of our government and the city that hosts the Statue of Liberty.

He briefed me on some DC laws, including two that were new to me. First, a DC C&R holder can only dispose of C&R firearms through a DC FFL dealer, and second, I can purchase one, and only one, C&R revolver.

This doesn't sit well with me.

Can you show us citation of such things?

Update 2:

The ATF investigator said I could purchase only one C&R revolver for the purposes of self-defense, because that was the Heller decision. But that is not exactly correct. As a result of the Heller decision, the DC Government passed "emergency" legislation for registering handguns. That legislation states that residents may purchase a revolver for the purpose of self-defense within their homes, and limits registration to one revolver per resident.

Just to be clear, I am not restricted on purchasing longguns, so long as they don't otherwise violate DC code (most C&R eligible longguns don't).

He said that the restriction on disposing C&R guns only through a DC FFL dealer was a DC requirement. I have not found that anywhere yet. Since there currently are not any DC licensed FFL dealers, and the DC government appears bent on not allowing any, I would have a permanent collection so long as I remainded in DC, and so long as the DC laws are not overturned.

Right now, because of the lack of D.C. FFLs, it sounds like a C&R is a great option to get a handgun.

I do recall a thread, I think on this forum, that there is ONE registered FFL in D.C. and it's one of the higher-ups at one of the anti-gun outfits. I have to wonder what's happened with that, since a number of people were griping that ATF rules state that to have an FFL you are supposed to be in the business of dealing firearms.

It will be interesting to see how many more lawsuits D.C. is going to face because of their assinine attitude in the wake of the Heller ruling.
