Can non-residents of D.C. apply for a concealed carry permit?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, with certain restrictions
No, not under any circumstances
Only military personnel can

The correct answer is: Yes, with certain restrictions

Non-residents of D.C. can apply for a concealed carry permit with certain restrictions. In D.C., non-residents can apply for a concealed carry permit if they have a legitimate reason for needing to carry a concealed weapon within the district, such as for work or self-defense purposes. The permit application process for non-residents will involve meeting specific requirements and demonstrating a valid need for carrying concealed. This restriction distinguishes option A as incorrect, as there are indeed limitations and criteria that non-residents must meet to obtain a concealed carry permit in D.C. Option C is also incorrect because the possibility of non-residents applying for a concealed carry permit does exist under certain circumstances. Additionally, option D is incorrect as it inaccurately states that only military personnel can apply for a concealed carry permit, which is not the case for non-residents who can also apply if they meet the necessary requirements.
