Can non-residents purchase firearms in D.C.?

Yes, without restrictions
No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms
Yes, but they must have a valid permit from their state
Yes, but only if they register the firearm in D.C.

The correct answer is: No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms

Non-residents cannot purchase firearms in D.C. This is due to the specific gun laws in the District of Columbia which restrict firearm purchases to residents only. Non-residents are not permitted to buy firearms in D.C. without violating the law. It is important for individuals to be aware of these regulations to ensure they are in compliance with the law. Option A is incorrect because non-residents cannot purchase firearms in D.C. Option C is incorrect as having a valid permit from their state does not allow non-residents to buy firearms in D.C. Option D is also incorrect as simply registering the firearm in D.C. does not allow non-residents to purchase firearms in the first place.
