Does anyone know if this policy is still in effect? I reside in Washington DC and went to a VA WalMart and was told they couldn't sell to DC residents, called a different WM in VA and was told it shouldn't be a problem. That person also said they don't actually do the paper work for gun sales when I asked them so I will call back tomorrow to clarify. I then called the WM in LaPlata Md and asked the question as as told no they don't. I asked if this was there store policy or a WM policy and was told it was a DC policy. When asked could he clarify was told you have to purchase in DC. Tried to explain that the only way for a DC resident to purchase a firearm is out of state or online and was told thereis an armory or something in DC where I have to go. When I asked him if he was the person in sporting goods that actually sells guns he got upset and said he has been doing this for 22 years and hung up on me.
Just after MOM's firearm law passed, visiting family in Florida, stopped by local WalMart. Fondling a few long guns and talking to the salesperson, who turned out to be a retired school teacher from Maryland. He showed me a company bulletin, restricting all firearms sales to MD residents until the lawyers understood the MD law.

Rifle or Shotgun
Under federal law, you may purchase a rifle or shotgun in a state in which you do not live from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). You should request a PD-219 from MPD before you shop for a firearm. You may pick it up at MPD’s Firearms Registration Section (FRS), request that it be mailed to you, or download the form online at MPDC.DC.GOV. You should bring the PD-219 with you when purchase the firearm, you and the seller will need to complete the firearm weapon information, sign the form, and the dealer will need to enter their dealer’s license number on the top right corner of the form.
You will complete the rest of the application and bring it to the FRS along with all other necessary materials to complete the registration process. The firearm will continue to be held by the dealer until your application is approved by the FRU.
Once the application is approved (generally within five days), the FRS will notify you. You can pick up your registration certificate or request that it be mailed to you. Your registration process is then complete.
After you get the registration certificate, bring it to the dealer to pick up your rifle or shotgun.
Also please go to the Introductions Section and introduce yourself.. Welcome

F em then, go to Dicks, Cabelas, Bass Pro, or a Va gun shop. Some may do price matching.
Dick's isn't really an option at this time.
Why is Dick's not an option at this time? Thats where I went to purchase my shotgun and had no problem!

It’s not really the logistics, it’s their abrasive anti-2A virtue signaling posture. They burned a lot of food will in that area over the last year, and some high-profile gun makers have walked away from them as a retailer. Until they get their heads on straight I won’t be giving them any gun or ammo sales, or any other business for that matter.
There are some very good local MD gun shops within just a few miles of the district line. If you’re on the north side of town, maybe Atlantic, United, or Engage. If you’re on the south side, maybe go see John at GymRatz. But call around first for a sense of how they can take care of you.
