    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.

        Appears you need DC approved training, which is only done in DC.
        ^Exemptions if you are a LEO or retired LEO and provide proof of LEO training.

          Maybe something else to do on my next trip to DC....

            The firearms training for DC must be from instructors on their approved list and it appears they are all located in either Virginia or Maryland which makes sense since both states are contiguous to DC.



            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.

              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.

                  We have a trip to DC tentatively scheduled for next year.

                  This would be a nice little addition to the CCW permit collection...

                    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.

                      See following:
                      Pursuant to amendments to the Firearms Regulations Control Act of 1975 (DC Act 20-447), anyone applying for a concealed pistol license in the District of Columbia must receive firearms training from a Firearms Training Instructor certified by the Metropolitan Police Department.



                      Here's my question: has anybody tried submitting another state's training to satisfy DC's requirements? If so, has this been successful?
                      In case it wasn't obvious, nothing I write here should be interpreted as legal advice.

                          The list of prohibited places is long. You'd be lucky to be able to carry while not on any highway driving through the district

                            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.

                              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
