Premises. Goods on which the manufacture or import of firearms or ammunition or the trade in firearms is or will be carried out. A private dwelling in which no part is accessible to the public is not recognized as an apartment in the sense of the term. When used in this Part and in the forms prescribed in this Part, unless they are clearly expressed otherwise or manifestly incompatible with their intent, the terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Subdivision. Plural words must contain the singular and vice versa, and words that matter the male gender must include the feminine. The terms “includes” and “including” do not exclude other non-listed items that fall within the same general category or its scope. Frame or receiver. The term “frame or receiver” has the same meaning as in § 478.12. (3) Expertise, i.e. what knowledge and skills are required;. Illegal user of a controlled or dependent substance. A person who uses a controlled substance and has lost self-control over the use of controlled substances; and any person who currently uses a controlled substance in a manner other than that prescribed by a licensed physician.
Such use is not limited to drug use on a specific day or in the days or weeks that follow, but rather that the illegal use has occurred recently enough to indicate that the person is actively involved in such behavior. A person may be a current illegal consumer of a controlled substance, although the substance is not used at the exact time they attempt to acquire a firearm or to receive or possess a firearm. An inference of current use may be derived from evidence of recent use or possession of a controlled substance or utility model or possession that adequately covers the current period, such as a conviction for the use or possession of a controlled substance in the previous year; several arrests for such offences in the last 5 years, if the last arrest took place in the last year; or persons who have been found by a drug test to be using a controlled substance illegally, provided that the test was carried out within the previous year. For a current or former member of the armed forces, a conclusion of current use may be drawn from recent disciplinary or administrative measures based on confirmed drug use, such as a conviction for a court martial, an extrajudicial sentence, or an administrative remedy due to drug use or failure to rehabilitate the drug. State of residence. The state in which a person resides. A person resides in a state if he resides in a state with the intention of building an apartment in that state. If a person is on active duty as a member of the armed forces, the state of residence of the person in which his or her permanent office is located is that specified in 18 U.S.C. 921(b).

[54] (3) by a current or former spouse, parent or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim has a child in common, by a person who lives or has lived with the victim as a spouse, parent or guardian (e.g., the equivalent of a “common law” marriage, even if such a relationship is not recognized by law), or a person similar to a spouse, parent or guardian of the victim (e.g., two people who live in the same place in an intimate relationship and intend to make it their home would be similar to those of a spouse).

A rifle with one or more barrels less than 16 inches in length and any weapon manufactured from a rifle, whether by modification, modification or otherwise, if such a weapon in its modified form has a total length of less than 26 inches. In 1972, the ATF was formally established as an independent office within the Treasury Department on July 1, 1972, transferring responsibilities from the IRS`s ATF division to the new Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Rex D. Davis oversaw the transition and became the first director of the office to lead the department since 1970. During his tenure, Davis ushered the organization into a new era in which federal gun and explosives laws dealing with violent crime became the agency`s primary mission.
