Are these illegal in DC? shotgun shell Xmas lights..

Joseph · Dec 30, 2013

So I was given a box of these lights and thought it would be neat to hang them in my office. Unfortunately my office is in DC. Your thoughts on the legality of bringing these into DC?

It is sad that I even have to ask..

Those dipshits classify empty brass as 'firearms'. Looks real enough from the picture - I sure as sh*t wouldn't.

Stupid that we even have to wonder if its legal or not :sad20:

xdmdude · Dec 30, 2013

I wouldn't risk it.

Saddest thread of the year.

Probably illegal in D.C. :sad20:

A classic Christmas tune

Jingle Bells
Shotgun Shells
headed off to jail
Hoping that my M-D-S friends
Will come and post my bail

****Illegal, at least according to how I understand the law as it has been written assuming those are real shotgun shells..

I have a really nice wreath made from shotgun shells I bought at a craft fair in Frederick and no way I would hang that in DC. I live in MoCo and it is kind of funny the reactions I get from people who know what it is.. I also bought a few really cool flags made from red, white, and blue shells to look like an American flag.. It's mounted on a wood back and I gave several of them away for X-mas to my range friends.

D.C. sucks.

Get some cojones, put 'em up. Real high and visible. Call their bluff. You'll be in the Wash. Times the next morning.

If you can take a high capacity magazine on TV in DC, why not these lights? Oh, you're not famous or on TV or politically backed by a bunch of rich folks? Well then... no lights for you!

Some of u need to lighten up.

rj1974 · Dec 30, 2013

I think it is only the high capacity shotgun shell shot glasses over 1 oz you need to worry about , the lights may be ok .

that's good :lol:

they reamed a guy recently for having empty 'unregistered' shell casings, and made an example of him, and he was an attorney with no priors.

I would not chance it by any means.

RileysDad · Dec 31, 2013

What a shame. :sad20:

Rocky BearDog · Dec 31, 2013

I didn't realize the depth of BS in DC - at least regarding shell casings...

America has moved west from here.

Certainly pits the reuse crowd against the anti crowd. Would make for an interesting debate... Call David Gregory for cover.

Kman · Dec 31, 2013

DC says they are illegal, as they are real shells.

Whether they enforce or not?...I wouldn't roll the dice.

Joseph · Dec 31, 2013

It sounds like since I am just a simple peasant I would probably be made an example of, if caught. A shame.

I should advise Tractor Supply that when they ship these to DC residents they need to go through an FFL.

They could easily be converted to shoot AR15s.... makes about as much sense as their gun laws.
