Going to Reagan National Today to pickup a traveler

[Garet Jax]

Am parking and going into the concourse to get him. I have MD, DC, PA and FL permits. Other than 10 round magazine, do I need to worry about anything else?

The last thread I saw about this was 10 years old so just making sure.

I assume one of those has reciprocity with Virginia?

I believe Virginia recognizes all permits

why only 10 round mags? maybe that's a dc thing but just stay out of dc, the airport is in va.

I have always been told that if you go over the Woodrow Wilson you enter DC for a brief second or two. I am always careful i stay out of DC if travelling.

You think they going to setup a checkpoint on the bridge and have everyone walk through metal detectors?

ROFL....

 

[davsco]

yeah if you get busted in the middle of the WW bridge, just toss that "hi cap" mag over the bridge into the potomac river.

Don't often go to Reagan National. I know it is in VA, but it is so close to DC that I might end up there mistakenly. Not worth the risk to me.

The GW parkway is more of a concern, if you drive that way. All of Columbia Island, which it traverses, is DC, even though it looks like part of the Virginia bank of the Potomac.

Unlike the tiny sliver of DC that intersects the Wilson Bridge, the section on the parkway is long enough for you to have a flat or get involved in an accident, and be sitting inside DC when you didn't intend to be.

Seems like one of those "concealed means concealed" times you sometimes encounter in life.

The entire area is a hot mess for 2A people to navigate, your points are not wasted on me. Buyer beware anywhere near there

Yeah, it's like a 20' stretch amid span.

Don't ask, don't tell.

After going to Capital One Arena and seeing their "metal detectors", it makes me wonder about who else is using similar tech. You absolutely could set those in an airport with police to stop anyone who sets one off.

GW Parkway is under federal control. Does the federal Park Police patrol it? Same as BW Parkway. I don't know the rules anymore.

Yes, they do.

Have you been to DC lately?

The odds of DC going full fascist stupid are low, but never zero. Always be prepared.

Yes, at the West end of the bridge over the water and just before landfall at Jones Point, there is a small triangle of DC which the bridge crosses.

 

[outrider58]

Here is the section of WW Bridge that falls into DC.
DC police don't patrol that tiny strip, I assure you.
