Section 925(a)(1) government-use firearm or ammunition exception

EXCEPTION · 18usc922:government-use

This is an object-and-conduct-specific statutory exception, not blanket immunity for government employees or privately owned service weapons. Each claim keeps an independent status.g9 route even when government-use is present; the exception cannot override section 922(p). No section 925 offset is invented: the text line is the section 922(g) hook, and the official companion section supplies the exception via xref.
