The risk that concealed carry reciprocity poses to D.C
http://.<br /> www.washingtonpost.co...67e_story.html
The Jan. 28 Metro article “Hundreds apply for D.C. concealed carry permits” accurately called out the societal shift toward guns being forced upon the District by the courts.
While concealed carry permitting is becoming easier in the District, officials point to stringent criteria for applicants, including safety training, background checks and restrictions for people with a history of violence or mental illness. The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, federal legislation that would require concealed carry permits issued in one state to be honored by all states and that has been passed by the House, is an active threat to the District’s independence in asserting how concealed carry is governed within the city limits. The regular influx of visitors to the District makes the risk posed by concealed carry reciprocity all the more pertinent. Whether by arguing for states’ rights or for common-sense gun legislation, the Senate must step up and defeat this bill.
