How to apply for a DC carry permit?

Mark75H · Nov 11, 2014

Emily just posted on Facebook that after what you see in the video, MPD told her there is a new policy and she can no longer video inside MPD buildings.

2A & 1A in one bundle. Fox's legal dept is probably already on this.

Don't they believe congress will eventually pull the rug out from under home rule???

This ought to be interesting. Now she has her own rule at MPD.

DC continues to act contrary to the courts & keep its collective head up its ass.

Maybe Judge Scullin will help them remove their heads from their dark recesses.

I'm sorry. Saw Emily on a one on one with an anti. She needs to up her game a bit. I appreciate her pro gun stance but needs to be more Charleton Heston-ish

Emily's piece was just on FNC on Fox and Friends. Now DC can be embarrassed nationally instead of just locally.

"The 2A was for when the British were coming".

I hope Sculin sees this. Hopefully Gura will enlighten him on the 20th.

Saw it as well and can't stop laughing at the DC police official who thinks the 2A was for the British. The ineptness is so rampant it really is time to hand the reigns back to people that even know what the Constitution and Bill of Rights are. In my book Emily is great - she's an advocate, intelligent, has a funny way of expressing her incredulity, and is really easy on the eyes. :thumbsup:

One can only hope that members of Congress saw this embarrassing piece of govt hubris and ignorance.

wow.

Despite what I think about the ridiculous registration requirements, most of the people in the MPD Reg Office have been very respectful and have had a good focus on customer service every time I've gone in to register a new gun; calling me personally to let me know the reg card is ready, etc.,,, but this is absurd.

The last time I was in there, I overheard what I believe is the same officer telling an older black woman woman asking about what's going on with CCWs all sorts of nonsense about how there is going to be a rash of criminals attacking people with CCWs to steal their handguns. She asked "how will they know I have a gun," and he went into the long monologue about how people carrying walk differently and just like "cops can always tell who has a gun, the bad guys can too." So many leaps in non-logic. Scary stuff.

What is really frightening is that cops that don't even have a basic grasp on the 2A, probably don't have a grasp on the rest of the Bill of Rights either, leave alone RAS, PC, etc.. Ta-Da!

My question is,is it illegal to wear a empty holster in Washington D.C. ..??I got conflicting answers from those who believe the British are coming (I'm already here..) and a few MPD who said it was fine as long as my side arm was not inside it.I could not find anything on empty holsters worn.BTW,Wapo said it issued 31 permits and of those 18 to non-res..is it me..??or was it D.C. had no instructors or was it you could have a NRA/D.C. certified instructor..??

Seeing that an empty shell casing is illegal in LaLaLand, I'd be hesitant to wear an empty holster there.

D.C. Police say three applications for concealed carry permits were submitted Thursday

The D.C. Council changed the concealed handgun carry law last month after a judge ruled that the District's previous ban on guns outside the home was unconstitutional.

Residents and visitors who want to carry a concealed handgun will have to show a specific reason that they need one. People who have received death threats or have been the victims of domestic violence are among those who could be granted permits.

Those seeking the concealed-carry permit would also have to complete a more extensive safety course than what's required for gun owners. Non-residents would also be able to get licenses if they meet the same standards.

The new law will not allow for the open carry of handguns and restricts where and when permit holders will be allowed to carry handguns with limits near government buildings, presidential motorcades, as well as near foreign dignitaries.

The immediate impact on the prosecution of people charged with carrying a pistol without a license remains unclear.

After a federal judge struck down the district's complete ban on issuing carry permits, the U.S. attorney stopped prosecuting those charged with carrying a handgun without a permit.

Gun rights advocates say the new law is too restrictive and they plan to take D.C. back to court.

I notice you said Conn. Ave. If you had said MLK you would get robbed of your loot within minutes. LOL

As Chris Rock once said " There is no city in the US where it is safe to be out after dark on a street named MLK."

So, Gura filed his motion asking the court to hold DC in contempt for their ugly new law and the DC said Gura has no standing to ask because they have a new law, ugliness and non-complying with the judge's order be damned.

Is this correct?

I got a waiver. I know others have as well including my sister in law who is retired air marshal. You many not need the course at all depending on courses you already have. I am sure I will get stuck on proving an active threat to life.

I have no doubt DC will award quite a few. But they will limit it to retired federal and other law enforcement, with a token handful of people with a direct provable threat.

Retired Federal and other Law Enforcement can already carry in DC via LEOSA. Let me know how yours goes, I may apply as well at some point.
