VICTORY IN PALMER!!!!

[Ack Ack]

For those that are interested, here's the language for the DC 10 round magazine limit.

No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term "large capacity ammunition feeding device" shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

nah we need a test case

I would volunteer but my Kahr only holds 6

This is great news. Until the court says otherwise I will be carrying in DC! My Glock 26 and S&W Shield meet those magazine requirements.

For those of you thinking about NOT carrying until the appeals process is done I would suggest that it would be more helpful to our cause to have LOTS of law abiding gun owners armed in DC showing that the streets will NOT fill with blood.

 

[redeemed.man]

Yes but its unexplainable and I haven't fully read it. It seems they want us to enforce state of residency laws or something. When I finally get to read the emails ill figure it out.......administration nightmare

I read it and I feel comfortable enough to carry in DC with the bulletin in my pocket so I will.

The only way for anyone to know is to OC. If you CC correctly, no one will notice.

This, seriously. If you are doing it correctly, and not just trying to show everyone how big of a man you are, no one should know.

My take is that due to the judges pretty direct opinion, the MPD will be very wary of arresting anyone carrying who is otherwise acting lawfully. They want to downplay this as much as possible to limit any related lawsuits as they try and hash out a new law. I think they realize that any arrest will hit the social media in a flash.


One note from the judge's opinion that I wouldn't have caught 2 years ago because I didn't understand levels of scrutiny (still don't fully understand to be honest). In his decision, he mentioned "under any level of scrutiny." Is it just me or does that statement pretty much blow the entire scrutiny debate out of the water?

Have you guys been carrying in DC all along? Just kidding. I will definitely carry concealed. I have a business meeting to attend. Open carry might not go over well with my client.

 

[swinokur]

That's my point. Everyone saying go exercise your right by carrying. But if you CC, what statement have you made? No one knows but you.

I am quite sure that the Wash Post and the Times know that thousands are likely carrying in DC today. The reporters are out and they will ask people. The bloodshed will be non-existent unless some criminal decides to test an armed US Citizen. I might open carry if I did not have a business meeting to attend.

And it keeps the bad guys guessing too.

Politicians?

Of course my tinfoil is back a bit as law abiding Maryland residents do not fall into scenario #2. Or am I missing something?

the scenarios are only examples

The core of it is in the snip i posted earlier, imo

 

[Mr H]

I was going off Gura's caveats on this memo. http://alangura.com/2014/07/your-d-c-handgun-carry-permit/

It says Metro Police Dept on the memo, not the AG's office.

I was looking for the AG directive (I am a little confused about who's in charge and issuing orders, Lanier or the AG)

from what I was reading early today, it Lanier, on consultation and advice of the AG

Keep in mind-- the law that only registered DC gun owners can posess ammunition is still in effect.

I hope that this was just poorly written.

This is where the power of social media will be very beneficial.

Some will want to post pics of OC, some stories of CC...

The more the merrier... Just be aware of prohibited places.

(yeah, in light of the directive, I'm comfortable with this, u.until a sgtay)

I think their goal is for the LEO to run a warrants check on the out of state carrier. If no warrant, you're free to go. They're not checking permits, just your right to legally possess. They have no way to know what states have permits and which don't. That's completely unworkable for a street cop. A warrant check is easy.

And they only laws MPDC can enfore are DC laws. They'll need a Federal LEO to charge on a Federal violation.

So then CCW is now probable cause? I don't think that's a viable solution, either.

I think its wrong (to paraphrase): At this time individuals who do not live in the district will not be charged with unregistered firearms or unregistered ammunition.
