There are only 8 permit holders. Their pictures are posted in all the squad rooms.
Prudent move if legal action is contemplated. One of the most positive things of Cypherpunk's DC law class was the discussion and listing of places off limits. I have permits from multiple states and none of those are as restrictive as to TPM as DC. There are 14 places listed as off limits in the DC law. IIRC George Lyon's handout listed 16. It would be extremely easy to get into trouble if you aren't situationally aware at all times. I'm sure it's by design, as are most parts of DC's CCW law.
I am closing in on sixty days since applying with G&S. Not thrilled about carrying in D.C. after hearing of this arrest.There are at least 36 permits last I heard, but it would not surprise me if the rest of your post is true.
The overwhelming majority of permit holders will never interact with DC Police outside of the "Firearm Registration Office" and lawsuits where DC is accused of violating civil rights and court orders.

Huh? Is that what the arrest was for?That spare magazine.
Is there a confirmation that it's what the arrest was for?As long as you don't carry more than 20 rounds total, a spare magazine is fine. Perhaps the cop didn't know the reg had beewn updated from 10 to 20? Facts will help explain all this at some point.
10-4no I'm just guessing if it was for a magazine what the actual reason was.
I have no info at all.
As long as you don't carry more than 20 rounds total, a spare magazine is fine. Perhaps the cop didn't know the reg had been updated from 10 to 20?
Or the flip side is the CCW holder had two loaded mags and went beyond 20 rounds.
Guess we should wait and find out what really happened first.
If they are carrying concealed, how do the cops know who is carrying?
You missed or forgot about the Florida resident who was pulled over for an alleged infraction of traffic laws and then was asked if he was carrying a handgun in his car. The MD Trans Police found the information about his CCW permit in Florida when they looked the guys info up on "the computer."
