DC carry confrontations

[Mr H]

The ammo registration is part of the current/old DC laws. If you are a DC resident and had ammo for a gun you did not have registered to you, off to the big house with you.

Fixed for the current status

Please, for people planning to OC in DC: I'm begging you to dress respectably, shave the neckbeard, and not be an attention whore. Please don't reinforce negative stereotypes, like those Open Carry Texas mouthbreathers. You know the phrase "This is why we can't have nice things?" Don't let that be you.


On a side note, I've taken an Emerson CQC-7 pocketknife into every museum on the mall with no issues. Was I not supposed to do that?

You're lucky - the CQC 7 has a blade over 3 inches. You were in violation of DC law.

Read the pdf in the OP. Lanier said she and the MPD isnt going to enforce that.

I know that, my post was in response to the question what was the ammo registration piece.

While walking down the street in Anacostia awhile back to get coffee:

Me to 6'4" 275 weight lifter black coworker: "I'm walking close to you because you are black and big"

Coworker: "I'm walking close to you because you are little and white and might be crazy"

That's one of the things Gura said he is worried about because he can't always update his blog in real time.

Let's be careful out there.

Exactly. They took a few days to acknowledge the rulling. I'd bet my sweet bippy the stay will be put out on every flat-foots radio instantaneously.

Time to dust off the 10-round (MD compliant.... er I mean DC compliant) magazines!

 

[jmira]

As long as, the firearm being carried has a magazine capacity of no more than 10 rounds (by a person legally able to possess the firearm), the experience should be trouble free.

My chrome .50AE deagle is 7+1 ... I don't have the balls though...

You would lose your drawers carrying around that hunk of metal.

Get a bandoleer holster, and carry a BFR in 45-70

Question

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, so first of all thank you and I hope you all wish me a warm welcome.

Now on to business. First, can't tell you how excited I was to hear that we are now able to carry handguns in DC. I have a question though.

I lived in Germantown, MD for several years. While there I purchased a handgun, and had it registered in MD. I did not have a carry permit for MD. I now live in DC, but never had the handgun registered in DC. Do I need to re-register the gun in DC, in order to be able to carry it in DC, or is the MD registration good enough for me to carry in DC? Also, when carrying in DC, can we conceal the weapon, or does it have to be in plain view?

Thanks for the info guys, and I look forward to contributing to the forum from now on.

You have to register it if you want to keep it DC. That's the only known rules at the moment.

The rest are still grey at the moment. Too soon to really interpret what dc want to do and what they going to enforce.. To many conflicting data.

 

[CATMdude]

I'd register it before carrying it if I were you. It's my understanding you can only carry as a DC resident if it's registered

Welcome

I recommend you edit your post to reflect that you're already in compliance with DC laws as a DC resident. The remainder of the answers you seek- are available if you read this and the other threads on this subject.

I don't believe that is the law. I know federal buildings have their own limit but iirc there is no glade length limit on folders.

I am not a lawyer.

See my response to you, above.

Got it and understood. I ment it as in regards to being a DC resident but I was not clear and you fixed it

nice to see she clarified that RAS still needed relating to those carrying a handgun.

this is really pretty cool. just like all the hoopla when CCW was gaining speed, haven't heard any reports of blood in the streets from this positive change.

 

[bowoah]

Soooo of course there are people outside my job with this Anti Gun crap!
I like the idea of the Million Marksman March.....anyone care to organize one.

And I honestly think that's all that changed. Sad they chose to change the wording on carry but IMO it's meaning is unchanged. If you are legal to possess in your home state-ok to carry in DC. No permit needed.

Communications and writing isn't the Chief's or her staff's strong suit IMO.

IANAL
