STATEWIDE - Add guns to the list of things you can now buy at a drive-thru.

The Federal Government signed off on a new rule that allows gun dealers to provide a drive-up or walk up service.

The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said the move is in response to questions about how gun dealers can sell weapons during the pandemic.

The guns must be bought on the gun dealers property.

Last month, the FBI reported more than 3 million background checks as people rushed to get weapons during the Covid-19 crisis.
