OK, So I want a DC carry permit (I live in PA and have PA and FL permits).
After today's Supreme Court decision, I looked at DC law, turns out that non-residents can too get carry permits. I am curious to see how to do this and will look into it. Stay tuned.
Sweeeeet! But sounds fishy Fenty is pushy!
I'm not going to let it stop me though.

I know that D.C. does have a law on the books providing for the issuance of permits to carry (not just to own) but you would be better off just not wasting your money, which you probably wouldn't get back after your denial anyway. Just save your money and first work on making D.C. less gun unfriendly.
I wonder if this guy is being serious about giving it a try....

I have heard that the cost is going to be incredulous. That should be outlawed. Expensive, extensive requirements to attain CCPs make it inaccessible to much of the population, which certainly infringes on our right to keep and bear arms. I don't honestly see a way they can charge anything and remain within the constitution.
Do I have to pay for my right to free speech in each state, whilst some states don't accept my PA free speech permit?
No, no need to pay for your right of free speech. Only for your right to keep and bear arms. I think it's a well known fact that although the law providing for the issuance of handgun carry permits does exist, it would not surprise me at all if, with all these draconian restrictions in place, that there aren't any that have ever been issued. Yet another in a laundry list of laws that makes D.C.'s gun laws the worst in America.
I put this up about a year ago and was told by Gura and Co. to wait until after the SCOTUS decision. Now that it's up and **** Heller is going back to court, we could/should apply as a group. It's $35 bucks for the app and if we could get some of the more activist members to come and bring cameras/video/media contacts. Ideally we should have Police Officers, Lawyers, and a good cross-section of the general public as DC has told me on the phone that they will only approve them 'if you are an active or retired police officer'. We need to challenge the capriciousness Obersturmbannmudder Katherine Lenier's 'only one's' approval process.
Keep in mind that the ban on semi-auto's is still in effect in the District until Heller beats them senseless.
