Is a permit required to carry a concealed firearm in DC?

Yes
No
Only for residents
Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, a permit is required to carry a concealed firearm in DC. This is the correct answer because the District of Columbia has strict gun laws that regulate the possession, carrying, and use of firearms. To carry a concealed firearm legally in DC, individuals must obtain a concealed carry permit from the Metropolitan Police Department. Without this permit, carrying a concealed firearm in DC is illegal. The other options are incorrect: - Option B: No, is incorrect because a permit is indeed required to carry a concealed firearm in DC. - Option C: Only for residents, is incorrect as the requirement for a permit applies to both residents and non-residents in DC. - Option D: Only for non-residents, is incorrect since residents are also required to have a permit to carry a concealed firearm in DC.
