Understood, I was just pointing out that being in a restaurant that serves alcohol while CCW is not illegal in DC
DC does prohibit consumption of any kind while CCW.

That is the way I read it initially too. But looking at all the rules over (and over) again, on businesses that regularly sells wine, beer or liquor for on premises consumption, I would just avoid them. The problem is that even though MPD may say it is meant to exempt restaurants that sell wine , the statue says "temporary licences" which is a separate class from full-time licences even within the letter designations. Temporary licences are for example licences for a specific set of four days at a venue.There is no gray area about carry in restaurants and hotels that serve alcohol. Specifically allowed in the statute.
C/R and D/R and C/H and D/H are DC licenses to serve beer, wine or spirits in a restaurant or hotel. Notice the comma in the statute including these license types.
Not a gray area at all.
A funny thing is that DC prohibits threaded barrels, but the HK45CT is on the MD roster. It comes with a threaded barrel.
Which applies?
Does it help that only permanent license types are mentioned? Class F & G temp licenses are not mentioned, but the other classes are and separated by a comma, being additive, but separate. Or does that not make a difference?

I guess legislative intent might play into a defense strategy.
Not a good situation for a defendant in any event.
Va changed that a cpl yr ago . You may now conceal in alcohol serving establishment , if you do not consume.
But you may still consume , if OC .
They are separate exceptions.
Thank you for the quick response. So carry but not consumption in a licensed restaurant or hotel is legal?
