DC Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In the District of Columbia, there is a 10-day waiting period for all firearm purchases. This means that once a background check is completed, the buyer must wait at least 10 days before they can take possession of the firearm. Option A is incorrect because while there is technically no waiting period for handguns, there is still one for rifles. Option B is incorrect because handguns and rifles have different waiting periods in DC. Option D is incorrect because it only includes the waiting period for handguns and not rifles. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
