Concealed Permit: Carrying a handgun in the District is prohibited. All firearms are to be kept at one’s home or place of business. All firearms must be unloaded and disassembled or locked with a trigger lock except when kept at a registrant’s place of business or while being used for lawful “recreational” purposes. A D.C. license to carry a pistol is needed for one’s home or business and the pistol must also have been registered prior to September 24, 1976. Self-defense in one’s home with a firearm is therefore legally precluded.
Automobile carry: Firearms not registered with the D.C. police may not be brought into the District. Alcohol and Drugs:
Deadly Force / Castle Doctrine: Washington D.C. Gun has no stand-your-ground law.
