District of Columbia Carry Guide

District of Columbia's own carry rules, in plain English. One place, in depth: who may carry, how a permit works, where carry is closed, and what to do when you are stopped.

What the guide will cover

• A short list up front, the page you can read in a parking lot, with every line linking to its chapter
• Who may carry in District of Columbia: age, eligibility, residency, military
• The permit: how to get one, what it costs, how long it takes, how to renew
• Carrying without a permit, and where that stops
• Where carry is prohibited: buildings, schools, alcohol, posted signs, federal land
• Vehicle carry and transport inside District of Columbia
• Magazine and ammunition limits, even where the answer is none
• Duty to inform, and what to do when you are stopped
• Buying, transfers and storage
• City and county rules on top of District of Columbia law
• Whose permits count here: which other states' permits District of Columbia honors, and on what terms
• If something goes wrong: who to call, what to say and what not to say
• Named offices, live links and forms, with the date each was last confirmed
