Palmer v. D.C.

[Tamara]

I hope somebody in the area is staking out the local Targets and Starbucks and so forth with a camera to spot the inevitable.

What about places like the Capitol complex grounds?

Is a "facility" a building, or could it be an area?

I believe "facility" means building. That's the way its been in Yellowstone and other places. The grounds are OK, inside a federally operated building is a no go. Even a rented commercial building used for .mil recruiting is considered a federally operated building (that particular office space I believe). I've seen signs to that effect on such a building.

Since hi-cap mags are banned in DC, would that apply to me if I carry there?

I would think the over 10 round mag law would still be valid.

I wish I had time to run down to DC and walk on the national mall with a gun on me. Just to say I did it.

Not if you're a newscaster.

I called a friend and asked him to do it for me.... I can live vicariously.
Told him I'd post his bail if he had any problems that he didn't cause himself.

Day has now been made. That's some funny stuff right there.

Thanks for ruining my plans of hitting the D.C. kosher places legally armed.

Me = Sad Panda being Sad.
Poo!

I SO want to believe that.

As in I so want to believe that, because I so want to go visit DC and see the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Smithsonian with my gun on my hip. Not because I think I need it, but because, damnit, that's what this was all meant for.

Even taking Lanier's order at face value and assuming it is valid; you'd still have to go through the metal detector at the National Archives and they wouldn't let you in armed.

I agree though in principle.

I have contacted the DC Firearms office and they owe me a call back this afternoon with the current enforcement policy.
