      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      why would you detour around a school? Just dont step on the grounds. I walk by a school on public space sidewalk every day on my way to the office. As far as that US concealed carry website, which has had many errors, they say parks are prohibited, and give a citation link, but that linked code...

      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      yes, like I said you can carry on 90% of the Mall. Only a tiny protion are public memories such as inisde of W monument, etc. as you can bike or down the whole length and breadth. You can't go in buildings or on curtledge of the facilities/memorials. The times people have been arrested is...

      DC road closures ahead of Pro-Palestine weekend protests 11/04/2023

      Ironically, thousands of years of human history show that in fact imposing maximum military violence on an opponent is exactly how you get to peace. Limited constrained wars lead to stalemates and continual violence, and strong responses lead to peace. The corollary: "Responding just leads to...

      Chinatown and Shaw community members decry surging crime

      exactly. Knife crime, both threat of force and violence, and actual stabbing is up too. Pretty much all violent crime has TRIPLED in last decade precisely as DC emptied its prisons and jails That Rayshonna Hill uses this term gun violence, as if the implement is the issue, is just completely...

      D.C. Firearms Office is Moving on October 16th

      Just incredible they inverted intent of law that stated 90 days clearly as a maximum, to a minimum. It is a defacto min. waiting period of 90 days when DC code states 10 days

      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      There is entire rock Creek Park (the largest by far Fed Property in DC) except facilities (just like Florida, Maine, Alaska, etc), all of the National Mall except facilities, all the medium and small parks in DC that are actually National park. It is legal to carry there. (It s also legal to...

      DC Public Transportation Carry Ban Lawsuit

      DC has over the years seized hundreds and hundreds of illegal firearms with pat downs of fair evaders. They no longer do this because they no longer do anything about fair jumpers.. So not only is rampant increased fair evasion costing DC taxpayers billions -- seizing firearms in subway, a...

      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      Lots and lots of people charged with both carrying without permit and pistol license violation If you go to eaccess.dccourts.gov/ you can also find people with pistol license violation and criminal records that would certainly prohibit carry, and with a virtual certainty be hard NICs bangs...

      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      NO it does not. I found dozens and dozens in just a few minutes of person changed with both carrying without license and "pistol license violation." Edit note: I am removing names. But these are real examples and just a sample of at least 50 I found in recent months.

      My Experience Conceal Carrying in D.C.

      WTF are people repeatedly posting these outright falsehoods? This has been addressed over and over. The within 1,000' being a school zone does not in any way create prohibitions. It is a penalty enhancement for committing an actual crime. If you are not committing a gun crime like robbing...

      Charles Alan is an asshat. he has relentless supported more violent felons on our streets. He supported REDUCTION of sentences for actual gun crimes. He wont mention the neighborhood he is discussing also had an equal rise in knifes crimes. Nor will he mention the perp in the case he is...

      No, not same reference. Public conveyances exclude private cars not used as taxis or ride share in all the Us states I can find including Maryland. Instead of partial quotes from no specific place, can you provide a exact link where Maryland law , does something done in no other state -- defines...

      SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

      Please note when you add your own language. A "public conveyance" is not "aka your own car." (2) (i) “Public conveyance” means a conveyance to which the public or a portion of the public has access to and a right to use for transportation. (ii) “Public...

      DC 20 round carry limit repealed - Thank you St Thomas

      hey Gary. All the best to you. Keep in mind that when they passed the recent ammo sales in the district law they did put that language in the ammo seller licensed, but that is for DC licensees (There are two who sell ammo) selling within the district and I have not parsed it but perhaps anyone...

      Transporting standard magazines in DC

      Jurisdictions don't prosecute for a FOPA violation, the jurisdictions contest the validity of you bringing it up as an affirmative defense. I cant see anything in case law that shows DC has contested people using FOPA as an affirmative defense for mags, other places have. There is no...

      Transporting standard magazines in DC

      Sorry to be late replying. Non law enforcement possessing a over ten round mag, no matter if it is locked up in a safe in a locked trunk, unloaded, in pieces, for a gun you don't even possess or own is a felony in DC. It is a felony whether you have a lawful gun registration or not, it is a...
