The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) announced that federally licensed firearms businesses may carry out transactions at drive-thru windows and temporary booths in their parking lots or other parts of their property amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
Curtis W. Gilbert, the ATF’s acting assistant director of enforcement programs and services, sent guidelines to Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL) in a letter (pdf) on April 10 outlining how the sellers can continue to conduct transactions while still complying with social distancing measures currently in place throughout the United States. Those transactions include verifying customer identity, completing paperwork, accepting payment, and delivering firearms and ammunition.
