Frequently Asked Questions

What is HR 1207 and how would it affect online ammo sales?

HR 1207 is a bill introduced in the U.S. House that aims to ban online ammunition sales. It would require all ammo sellers to have a federal license, mandate in-person sales to individuals, and require reporting of bulk ammo purchases to law enforcement.

What are the arguments against HR 1207 regarding ammunition accessibility?

Opponents argue that HR 1207 would significantly increase the cost and difficulty of acquiring ammunition, disproportionately affecting low-income individuals and potentially leading to black market sales rather than reducing crime.

What is the status of constitutional carry in Tennessee and Ohio?

Tennessee's HB 786, which would establish constitutional carry, has passed the House and is awaiting the Governor's signature. Ohio is considering HB 227, which would expand carry rights by allowing the carry of various weapons without a permit and removing the duty to inform police.

Why are CCW permit delays in Detroit a legal issue?

A lawsuit has been filed against Wayne County, Michigan, because it is taking over a year to process concealed weapon permit applications, far exceeding the typical two-month timeframe seen in other counties, which is seen as a failure to act in a timely manner.
