Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in DC?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

In the District of Columbia, a permit is required to purchase a handgun for both residents and non-residents. This makes any choices suggesting that a permit is not required, such as B, D, or C, incorrect. While C and D may be partially correct in that residents and non-residents have different requirements for obtaining a permit, it is important to note that the initial step of purchasing a handgun in DC would require a permit for either group.
