Washington D.C.
Since DC has opted NOT to request cert from SCOTUS in the Wrenn case and can no longer require "good cause' for a permit, who here is going to apply?

Will they issue to non-DC residents?

Appears they issue to non-residents of DC as long as they have a valid carry permit in the State they reside in.
So a CA resident needs a valid CA LTC permit in order to qualify for the non-resident DC carry permit. |

https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/concealed-c...-certified-mpd And DC requires 16 hours of firearms training + 2 hours of range training, so this would probably be a minimum three day trip for a DC permit. Last edited by Baja Daze; 10-13-2017 at 1:39 AM.. |

Training can be delayed and you can be preapproved without the training if you obtain it within 45 days of preapproval. Cost for the License is $75.00.

Does anyone have any insight into what it takes to become a DC certified instructor? I suggested that my LGS inquire and become DC certified instructors. While I am not planing on traveling to DC in the near future, I am willing to spend a nominal amount to add DC to the jurisdictions where I can carry.

https://mpdc.dc.gov/node/927182 Here's my question: has anybody tried submitting another state's training to satisfy DC's requirements? If so, has this been successful?

It’s about to become easier for D.C. residents to obtain concealed-carry firearms permits — but researchers said Washingtonians will still have to face a set of city laws so complex and muddled that it may mean there is hardly any place they can safely carry their weapons. The city’s “gun-free zones” law places restrictions on carrying firearms within 1,000 feet of a school, college, day care center, playground, library, public housing complex and other public gathering spots. The list is so broad that nearly every city block would qualify as a gun-free zone, said John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, who released a map Tuesday showing the parts of the city he said would clearly be affected by the 1,000-foot restriction. “They’re just making it so it’s actually impossible for somebody to legally carry in the District of Columbia,” Mr. Lott said. “My own guess is they probably did it on purpose. I can’t get into people’s minds to know, but there’s no other law that’s drafted anywhere near similar to what’s in here.” The Metropolitan Police Department gave a different interpretation of the law, saying the gun-free zones apply only to those carrying firearms illegally and that the penalty amounts to boosting prison time when other offenses have been committed. Still, legal analysts said they would be cautious given the “bafflingly drafted” ordinance. The fight over the meaning of the law comes just days after the city announced it would not pursue an appeal to the Supreme Court of a circuit court ruling this year that said the District’s “good reason” rule placed too high a burden on residents seeking concealed-carry permits. The case means residents no longer have to prove to the satisfaction of police that they have a special reason to want to carry a firearm. The “good reason” clause had proved to be a major hurdle for city gun owners, sinking 74 percent of concealed-carry applications. Now the city is preparing for many of those rejected applicants to apply again, as well as others who were reluctant to apply in the first place because of the good reason restriction. Mr. Lott and other gun rights advocates said those who do obtain a permit, though, should still be wary of carrying a gun in the city, based on laws that severely restrict where they can go with a weapon. The city’s laws designate areas 1,000 feet from most public gathering spaces such as schools and parks to be gun-free zones, as long as they are identified as such by signage. The law reads: “Any person illegally carrying a gun within a gun free zone shall be punished by a fine up to twice that otherwise authorized to be imposed, by a term of imprisonment up to twice that otherwise authorized to be imposed, or both.” The law says it “shall not apply to a person legally licensed to carry a firearm in the District of Columbia.” A city police spokeswoman said the law “is a penalty enhancement — not a unique crime — for someone who is illegally carrying a firearm. That would not apply to someone with a valid license to carry.” But Emily Miller, who chronicled her ordeal through the permitting process to own a firearm in the city in The Washington Times and later in her book “Emily Gets Her Gun,” said she doesn’t trust that assurance. The D.C. Council “wrote a carry law that makes me study a map every time I move 10 feet,” said Ms. Miller. “Obviously, their intent was to make it as hard as possible for those of us who have carry permits to legally carry our guns in [the District] for self-defense. The criminals roam freely and don’t abide by the absurd carry restrictions, so those of us who carry guns for self-defense should be able to do so as well.”

Feel free to be he guinea pig on that one, MPD does not interpret the law they only enforce it.
The link to the prohibited places is included under the License to Carry menu option, pretty hard to assume that its not meant for CCW |

There are two different provisions--one is relevant for permit holders (that's the one on the website you refer to), and one probably isn't.
The relevant provision is: Quote:
The likely irrelevant provision for CCW-holders is this: Quote:
John Lott--who is a man I've spoken to several times through FedSoc and greatly respect--created a lot of FUD with his map. Yes, the statute is horrifically drafted, seemingly by somebody whose IQ is about room temperature. But the only reasonable way to read this is as a penalty enhancement section.

Being that there is not likely a ton of demand in California for the training AND that DC is pretty politically unstable, it seems like too high of a risk for me!
