DC Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam 2026 - Free Firearms Safety Practice Questions and Study Guide

To carry a concealed handgun in DC as a non-resident, you must apply for a DC carry permit. Option A, having a valid permit from their state of residence, is not enough as each state has different laws and regulations regarding concealed carry. Option C, being accompanied by a DC resident with a permit, is also not enough as the non-resident themselves must have a permit. Option D is incorrect because non-residents can carry a concealed handgun in DC if they meet the necessary requirements and obtain a DC carry permit. Therefore, the only option that must be met in order to carry a concealed handgun in DC as a non-resident is to apply for a DC carry permit.
