AFT HOTLINE

    In March of 1992, ATF established a new national toll-free hotline to
    report criminals in possession of firearms, trafficking in firearms,
    and to provide information about armed drug traffickers.  By calling
    1-800-ATF-GUNS, citizens can (anonymously, if they so choose) report
    suspected illegal gun violations, including armed gang and drug
    activity. Calls are routed by area code to the nearest ATF law
    enforcement field division.

        INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF PERSONALLY OWNED FIREARMS

Notwithstanding State and local laws, any person who is not otherwise
prohibited from possessing firearms is entitled to transport a firearm
for any lawful purpose from any place where they may lawfully possess and
carry such firearm to any other place where they may lawfully possess and
carry the firearm.  However, during such transportation the weapon must be
unloaded and neither the firearm nor any ammunition may be readily
accessible or directly accessible from the passenger compartment of the
transporting vehicle.  In the case of a vehicle without a trunk, the
firearm and ammunition must be contained in a locked container other than
the glove compartment of the vehicle.

In the case of certain NFA weapons, e.g. machineguns, destructive devices,
short-barrel rifles and short-barrel shotguns, persons other than Federal
firearms licensees, must obtain permission from ATF (NFA Branch) before
transporting such firearms in interstate commerce.

                       STORAGE OF NFA FIREARMS

   This is a reminder that licensed firearms dealers may not take NFA
   firearms registered to other persons for either temporary storage or
   consignment sale purposes.  Such unapproved possession violates 26 USC
   5861, and subjects the weapon to seizure and forfeiture.

   If the lawful possessor of a registered NFA weapon needs to temporarily
   store the weapon (e.g. for security purposes during a temporary absence,
   such as a vacation), he should store the weapon in such a manner that
   only the registered owner has access to the weapon.  For example, in a
   safe deposit box at a bank.  The weapon should not be left in the
   custody of another person since this would constitute a transfer of the
   weapon. For more information, contact the NFA Branch at Bureau of
   Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, NFA Branch, Washington, DC 20226, or
   (202) 927-8330.
