    I agree though in principle.

    Have you guys ever read the list of places where its illegal to carry in Illinois? Its absurd. Any form of public transport, parks, playgrounds, all arenas/stadiums, all pro & college sporting events, libraries, zoos, museums, amusement parks, hospitals, nursing homes. If we get to the point where DC institutes their own carry scheme, they'd consider that list a starting point. Those kind of restrictions combined with federal facilities would make DC a minefield.

    Public transport would be a huge issue for lots of DC folks. I'd be happy to be able to carry to the outside monuments, to/from my hotel/car/restaurant/groceries, normal life stuff. Driving through the District instead of around it. It won't be Arizona, but it also won't be the same as it is today. Baby steps. or in this case, baby's first step.

    I just spoke to the DC Firearms Division and the Officer there said "It is legal to carry for today." (July 28, 2014)
    But he expects the City Council to act to request a Stay and then the old law will stay in effect until a new law is enacted.
    I was tempted to go there just to enjoy the moment, but I have other plans.
    I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice, so if you go to DC with a concealed firearm and permit the risk is totally yours.

    The Judge in Palmer vs District Columbia just issued an injunction against Chief Lanier stating again that the firearm laws are unconstitutional and unenforceable until a higher court rules.
