Tuesday marks the 10-year anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that enshrined an individual right to possess and carry firearms.

That means that residents no longer need a “good reason” to obtain a permit for carrying a concealed handgun.

For now, the AG’s office is telling MPD to enforce the “good reason” law, but it will be blocked starting approximately next Thursday.

“Due to the importance of this question, which affects the safety of every person who lives in, works in, or visits the District.”

The law requires that residents show “good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property” to receive a handgun license.

At the moment, residents can apply for concealed carry permits.

A 19-year-old prisoner was found with a loaded handgun tucked into his underwear at the D.C. Superior Courthouse this morning.

Negotiations are ongoing.

“Urban areas should not be governed by standards appropriate for rural areas.”

“Although the stay takes effect immediately, we must recognize that members of the public may not be aware that all firearms laws in the District are one again in effect.”
