I recently moved from DC to VA, in part because the gun laws are so much better here. I’ve built up my little collection this summer and am really liking firearms training and collecting.
I work in DC though. My building itself is safe and has armed security, but I work right in the thick of things downtown, and also my place of work is a possible target for some violent groups.
In reading everything on the MPD site, I was having trouble parsing if traveling to and from my work with a long gun in a locked case in my trunk is legal or possible. I don’t think I need a full CCW, I don’t want to walk around work carrying, I’d just like a SHTF option if things around my work get out of control when I’m coming into or out of the city. I was able to find the process for residents to register a long gun, but anything about out-of-State I could find seemed to only be talking about handguns.
For anyone with a better understanding of the law than I have (probably everyone here), is getting a full CCW the only way to possesses and transport a firearm if you work in DC? The long guns specifically would be either a Mossberg Maverick 88 12ga or a Ruger PC Carbine 9mm 10+1. Both legal to own in DC if you’re a resident (I was in the process of acquiring them as a DC resident before I moved to VA).
Thanks for any info.
