I took my COF this evening and according to the instructor the DC City Council has recently made two changes.
1. If you carry a firearm with less than 10 rd capacity you are now only allowed to carry enough ammo to fully load your firearm twice. If you carry a gun with a six round mag + 1 in the pipe you are now only allowed to carry 14 rds total, down from 20.
If you carry a mag with 10 rd capacity you can still only carry 20 rds total and must download one mag if carrying with one in the pipe.
2. Possessing a magazine >10 rds is now a felony with a 5 year sentence for each offense.
Full disclosure - I have not been able to verify this information.
He also told me something else that was interesting, he says that in 2017 there were nine justified shootings by permit holders, in 2018 that number rose to 29 and this year is on pace to have 65.
If true that's a lot less victims and more bad guys getting ventilated in our nation's capitol.
