We cannot ship the APACHE COMMANDER to the following States: Maryland, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia. If you do not see your State below, then you live in a gun-friendly State! For California, if you are not an active law enforcement officer, you cannot purchase any WATCHTOWER handgun.
A roster is an official list of firearms that are legally approved for sale, purchase, and sometimes possession within a particular U.S. state. If a gun isn’t on the roster, licensed dealers cannot legally sell it in that state.
If a gun is not on the roster, that doesn't always mean it's "illegal." It might just mean that dealers can’t sell it. Rosters are constantly changing — firearms can be added or removed over time.
FFL Compliance:FFLs can purchase firearms that are not legal in their state if they are for sale to law enforcement, military, or out-of-state sales. Connecticut is the exception; they can only order firearms to fill law enforcement and military orders and cannot keep regulated firearms as stock.
