DC is getting desperate....

Will the DC Police FFL managers be individually liable for the same minor discrepencies and errors on the 4473 as Red's Trading Post and the rest of the FFLs nationally are responsible for?

There are criminal penalties involved, right?

Or will the DOJ BATFE "look the other way" for their brothers in blue?

If they do, will that technically make the DOJ BATFE technially guilty of covering up a federal crime and subject to RICO indictment?

Well, one can dream...

DC is renting space in the Metro PD building to Charles Sykes to run his transfer FFL out of...

That would be the third Government that moved quickly to change their laws in the face of Alan Gura this month. The other two were the Michigan Liquor Control Board and Chicago...

Not a problem for the DC Police, since they're not going to be the FFL; they're merely leasing space to the one existing FFL who had lost the lease on his previous location. He'll still be the one on the hook for any errors, which I suspect BATFE will be more than happy to use as an excuse to pull his license. Then it won't be DC's fault that nobody can get a gun; it will be the evil gun dealer's. Also note that the changes in zoning rules only apply to whatever space the DC Police might be willing to lease to new dealers. After all, you wouldn't want free enterprise and competition between businesses to break out in the nation's capital.

Notice the "zoning commission" has OK'd FFL's in ANY "police station or license agency". I've already put in my request for an application. If they drag their feet, I'll sue their ass. And demand the same terms he gets. Or less, since I won't be at ! police plaza. And get Alan Gura to do it for me.

Ummm, isn't possession of a firearm in a Law Enforcement Facility by anybody other than a police officer a felony?

Unless the lessee gets an entire floor (or totally separate portion therof) and a totally separate entrance, wouldn't people have to go through part of a police station to get to the FFL?

You beat me to it. I was wondering if people could actually take possession of their new gun while inside of a government building.
Or maybe they will get an escort from the building, at which time they are handed their boxed-up, unloaded gun.
A store near me had a policy of walking with you to your car, before handing over your gun - to be placed in the trunk, immediately.
In spite of the fact that the parking lot was posted ...

They can make exceptions, just like they make exceptions at One Police Plaza here in NYC. We have to bring newly purchased firearms in for inspection and serial number recording. You declare the firearm (unloaded, locked in a hard case) at security and they give you a pass after the container has been X-rayed.

It's not uncommon to see civilians with black, locked Glock or bright blue SIG cases walking to and from the gun inspection room. Last time I was there, approximately 6 people were waiting for a gun inspection.

"wouldn't people have to go through part of a police station to get to the FFL?"

Under DC law, you already had to take handguns to police HQ for ballistics finger-printing.
