Police in Washington, a city known for its tough anti-gun laws, has a little-known law that enables police to arrest non-residents caught carrying a spent bullet or shotgun casing that can result in a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
The Washington Examiner, citing a new book by Emily Miller called points out that these spent shell casings are considered ammunition, hence illegal to possess "unless you are a resident and have a gun registration certificate."
The report describes an Army Specialist who almost lost his job due to a 2011 arrest when he accidentally carried a handful of bullets, no gun, in his backpack to a meeting at the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
