State Laws and Published Ordinances - Firearms (36th Edition)

ATF is pleased to provide you with the newly reformatted 36th Edition of State Laws and Published Ordinances – Firearms (ATF P 5300.5). Having replaced the sometimes lengthy and cumbersome text documents of previous editions, the 36th edition now provides easier to navigate tables which include succinct law or ordinance titles, associated legal citations, and direct hyperlinks to each state or territory’s provided reference library. These publications will help you comply with federal and state firearms laws and, specifically, with the Gun Control Act of 1968. This material is not intended to provide legal advice and should be used only for informational purposes. Should you have any additional questions regarding state, county or local laws, please contact your state/territory’s Attorney General.
