Good try George, But you have to read 10.5.9 a. which only lists four permissible BFP's, Two DC's and Two RPZ's. Take away the two DC's prohibited by 10.5.9 Exception (3) and what are you left with ?.
I figure by now Garth is saying that damn AHJ is behind all this, actually no not even a proposal, however as a code official I have no choice to enforce it.

Heres how the section now reads; 10.5.9 Exception (3) "Where fire protection systems include a fire department connection double check valve assemblies shall not be permitted."
