(DC) Man arrested for possession of unregistered ammunition

[jimpeel]

Was watching Scarborough on MSNBC tonight and on the ticker under the picture it states that a man had been arrested in Washington, DC for possession of "unregistered ammunition". It went on to state that he was initially stopped because he had a gas can strapped to the top of his car. It then stated that the man had "voluntarily" given a shotgun shell to the police.

I went to the Washington Post site but could find nothing on this story.

You have to register ammo in DC???

Anyone got anything on this story?

 

[Mike Irwin]

Not on the story, but yes, you have to register ammunition in the People's Republic of Columbia.

In some states, you need licenses to buy ammunition; in others, you need to present your driver's license, and the sale is recorded.

I remember a similar question being asked in the past and the consensus was that it wouldn't be a good idea because it might be incorrectly perceived as a death threat.

If I'm not mistaken, mailing ammunition would be a felony. Probably shouldn't mess with felonious behavior.
