The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced on Friday that federally licensed firearms businesses could carry out transactions through drive-up windows and temporary booths in their parking lots or other parts of their property. Those transactions include verifying customer identity, completing paperwork, accepting payment and delivering firearms and ammunition.
"An FFL may also carry out the requested activities from a temporary table or booth located in a parking lot or other exterior location on the licensee's property at the address listed on the license, but any such activities must occur in a location where the licensee has the authority to permit ATF's entry for inspection purposes," it continued.
A March 28 memo from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the Homeland Security Department identified "workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges" as part of the nation's essential critical infrastructure workforce.
More than 40 states and the District of Columbia have issued stay-at-home orders that have closed or otherwise restricted nonessential businesses. Some states haven't specifically mentioned firearm retailers in their lists of essential businesses, so they're assumed to be nonessential.
Gee, what could go wrong?
Ctv news In Ottawa used cnn footage to slam Trump about the USA slow response but did not show the Canadian house when Pierre P questioned the liberals about knowing of the virus in January. Twitter showed the liberals not answering a yes or no question.
Yeah right, that's an essential service.
Cabelas in Ottawa is still selling firearms as well. So sad Fake Canadian media always have to pick on the US
More deflecting. Trudeau and his comrades knew in January through molitary intelligence about the oncoming pandemic. They did nothing!! Let that sink in!
You just can’t make this sh** up ...
🤦♂️
Because that is important right now. The story is get the government to ramp up testing. Otherwise this will go on for a long time. Tam knows without a shadow of doubt that testing will help but they would actually have to enforce quarantine. JustinTrudeau
The Constitution is supreme. Wish we had these kind of rights in Canada
Hahaha merica
Of course they are. Why would anyone be surprised?
Can't keep a good gun shop down, virus or no virus. Americans should be more concerned about dying from Covid-19 than being shot.

Morons. The lot of them.
Makes sense.. a lot of stupid Americans think they will need more ammunition to beat the virus
I'm ready for anything
Guns must be a cure to the virus. :o))
I still don’t get it, people agree health care is a privilege, rather die than loose guns as their rights?!! Thank the lord I’m Canadian 🇨🇦.
The US just keeps going down, down, down further. Not learning a thing.
This is not going to end well.
Why is gun sales so essential during a pandemic in the US? Wow!!
Its called the USA has fallen to the dumpsters
Buy a gun out of the boot of some guys car? Sounds legit.
Priorities...😱
And this is why Americans face the daily heartbreaks nobody else in the world has to deal with. Yay for freedom
Let’s see this in this Country as well!!
Only in the U.S. would something that dumb be going on.
Priorities
That's so stupid, just open the store.
No bullets allowed.
So are the folks who are infected with Covid-19 turning into flesh eating zombies?
Gunna shoot me some corona this Easter just as god intended
Good for them It’s evident that government is incapable of even their most basics responsibilities let alone protecting citizens
