It is also untrue that this is about concealed carry. That is a map drawn from a law on doubling of penalties for gun crimes, and is not related to licensed concealed carry.

Certainly an excellent interpretation to go on.

I wonder how many previously denied applications they are dealing with
Thanks for the clarification. Please forgive my passion for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms battle.
I'm glad that's true, and IANAL, but for the life of me I can't figure out why this doesn't apply to legal CCW as well.
The exception seems to be for people who live and work within the 1000 foot zone
We don't know that that read is simply a(nother) mistake by the Wash. times. Note they are not quoting him about alcohol establishments, but the times reporter is making their own statementExcept that restaurants and hotels that have C/R, D/R, C/H and D/H licenses (beer, wine, and spirits) are exempted from the prohibition, which means restaurants and hotels are ok as long as you don't consume.Perhaps Mr. Mendelson needs to read his own legislation.

What ought to be done by DC gun owners, since this does increase penalties, possibly converting misdemeanorr to felony, for inadvertent mistakes such as printing, carrying 21 rounds, etc, is we ought to note that drug free zones are argued by virtually the entire left to be unfair to urban residents, documented to affect African Americans more than other groups -- and DC has repealed its drug free school zones penalty enhancements exactly for that reason.
Of all of their prohibitions (and it's the same in Illinois under the post-Moore scheme), I find the ban on carrying on public transit the most offensive. It basically means that unless you live close enough to work to walk, you can't carry at all that day. I haven't seen any justification for that other than the usual "It'll save lives" nonsense.
I also have no doubt that if Congress somehow manages to pass the reciprocity bill, New York will rush to ban carrying on the subways and commuter trains, basically making carry in NYC a non-issue for most people.
Each law needs to be judged based on strict scrutiny or all of this is a waste of time.
...90 days doesn't seem unreasonable, given the freshness of the circuit ruling. Even without that, it's still not unreasonable IMO

Seems like a great “disparate impact” case to me. It disproportionately harms the poor which statistically tend to be monorities. Single moms would also be heavily discriminated against by this regime.
I can carry while riding Metro in VA. People do all the time with no ill effects.
What I don’t know is if I can open carry on Metro in VA. Anyone know?
