Shipping to District of Columbia
The District is the one place on this list where we cannot ship ammunition at all — inbound ammunition shipments are prohibited. Firearms transfer through the District's licensed dealer, and suppressors are prohibited.
Firearms
Every firearm ordered from htxguns.com ships to a licensed dealer in District of Columbia — never to a home address. You pick the dealer at checkout, we send the gun and a copy of our licence, and you collect from them once the background check clears. The dealer sets their own transfer fee and collects it directly from you.
Ammunition
The District prohibits inbound ammunition shipments, so we do not send ammunition there at all.
Suppressors and NFA items
District of Columbia prohibits civilian suppressor possession, so we cannot transfer one there. This holds even with an approved Form 4 and a federal registration — federal approval does not override a state prohibition.
Optics, holsters, parts and gear
Everything outside firearms, ammunition and NFA ships direct to your address in District of Columbia with no dealer and no paperwork.

This page is our shipping policy, not legal advice. District of Columbia's permit, waiting period, roster and magazine rules are applied by your receiving dealer at transfer, and several states' rules are currently being litigated. For the law itself, go to DC Metropolitan Police Firearms. Last reviewed 2026-08-16.
