I believe the gun laws in the district have changed. It was strict back in the day l, but the provisions that made them strict expired and the Republicans never revised them. The gun rights activists protested them. I could be wrong. I remember a video on here last year where DC police had to hand a brotha his gun back after they stopped and searched him.DC got some strict gun laws, you can't carry in DC. She'll get 5 for the loaded weapon alone..
