- Federal law requires federally licensed handgun dealers to sell only to the residents of the state where the dealer is located.
- D.C. residents: The sole licensed dealer in D.C. has no inventory, just charges a fee to import guns from other dealers. We want to buy directly from a dealer in Texas.
- District court: The law is unconstitutional.
- Fifth Circuit: Reversed. It satisfies strict scrutiny. Can't expect dealers to understand each states' multifarious gun restrictions.
