Can non-residents apply for a concealed carry permit in DC?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, if they have a permit from their home state
No, only residents can apply
No, DC does not issue concealed carry permits

The correct answer is: Yes, if they have a permit from their home state

Non-residents can apply for a concealed carry permit in DC if they have a permit from their home state. This is the correct answer because DC recognizes concealed carry permits issued by other states through a reciprocity agreement. This means that individuals who hold a valid permit from their home state can apply for a concealed carry permit in DC and carry concealed firearms in accordance with DC laws. Option A is incorrect because non-residents are not allowed to apply for a concealed carry permit in DC without any restrictions. Option C is incorrect as it states that only residents can apply, which is not accurate. Option D is also incorrect because while DC has strict gun laws, they do issue concealed carry permits to non-residents with valid out-of-state permits.
