More folks with DC plates have carry permits not. Not many who visit DC have DC permits. Odds are better for a safe workplace if criminals target out of DC plated vehicles.
Sort of like when Florida had special plates identifying rental cars. Criminals targeted them more often because they were thought to be safer. Florica got rid of those plates because crimes stats showed they were disproportionately targeted.

So no longer the District of Criminals? Imagine that!
Why are all of our 'fair and balanced' local news media not on top of reporting this story?

Because it appears to show lawful self-defense by a permitted carrier. Can't have that get around.
Also, MPD's Press Release says:
On Monday, July 17, 2023, 27-year-old Marcus Lavelle Thompson, of Southeast, DC, was arrested and charged with Armed Carjacking (Gun), Carrying a Pistol without a License, Possession of Unregistered Ammunition, and Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device.
Shows you how pointless DC's Magazine Capacity Limit is.
Congratulations on the auto owner and my heart goes out to him for having to deal with such trash. I truly hope for his mental health to not be unsettled.

I wonder if they'll try to charge the victim for being to close to an area where permit carry is a no-no

Appreciate the explanation. Thank you!

The driver should have just let the carjacker "take the car, it's only property" or the driver "should have drove away". The driver was "obviously looking for their first kill".

Hope this guy talked to counsel before talking to the police.

You know I'm joking, right?

Yes, absolutely.
I'm just commenting on how it's "fill-in-the-blank" knee-jerk narratives from the Local/National Press on things like this.

DC has non-resident permits. What confuses some is that you also have to have a permit in your state of residence.

That's incorrect about needing a home state permit.
There's a big thread on that from a few years ago.
People were reading the application wrong.
I had to post an exchange I had with the DC Firearms Unit commander at the time before some people here would believe you did not need a home state permit to apply for a DC permit.

That's great! They didn't mention it in my DC/MD/VA class. I just read it on
And thought that was the latest info on the issue.
Oh....a trans woman (at least could be....it has a bonus hole).

Yeah I am actually amazed at the amount of 2A sites out there that have the info wrong. Even some pro2A attorneys.
Maybe I'll send them an email and see what happens.

It is a bit shocking how so much of this stuff winds up being "copy/paste" incorrect.
Curious what you hear back.
