The ND legislature has a bill going through right now that will make it illegal for us to buy long guns in contiguous states. This is HB1505. It will repeal the following code:
62.1-02-12. Resident may purchase rifle or shotgun in contiguous state
Application--Definitions. It is lawful for a person residing in this state, including a
corporation, a limited liability company, or other business entity maintaining a place of
business in this state, to purchase or otherwise obtain a rifle or shotgun in a state
contiguous to this state, and to receive or transport that rifle or shotgun into this state.
This section does not apply nor may it be construed to affect in any way the purchase,
receipt, or transportation of rifles and shotguns by federally licensed firearms
manufacturers, importers, dealers, or collectors. As used in this section, all terms have the
meaning prescribed in the Gun Control Act of 1968 [Pub. L. 90-618; > 18 U.S.C. 921] and
the regulations promulgated thereunder as enacted or promulgated on July 1, 1985.
Please call your ND legislators asking them to oppose this as it will limit our freedom to purchase long guns from neighboring states.
