Can non-residents purchase ammunition in Washington D.C.?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but only if registered with the MPD
No
Yes, but only if they have a valid out-of-state ID

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if registered with the MPD

While it may seem like non-residents would be able to purchase ammunition without restrictions, that is not the case in Washington D.C. Non-residents are required to register with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in order to purchase ammunition. Option A is incorrect because it falsely states that non-residents can purchase ammunition without restrictions. Option C is incorrect because it states that non-residents cannot purchase ammunition at all, which is not true as long as they are registered with the MPD. Option D is incorrect because having a valid out-of-state ID alone is not enough for non-residents to purchase ammunition, they must also register with the MPD.
