Is open carry of firearms allowed in Washington D.C.?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, with a permit
No, under any circumstances
Only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

Open carry of firearms is not allowed in Washington D.C. under any circumstances. This means that regardless of a person's age, background, or possession of a permit, they cannot legally carry a firearm in plain sight. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that open carry is permitted, with or without restrictions or a permit. Option D is incorrect because while law enforcement officers may carry firearms, this does not apply to the general public. It is important to note that there may be exceptions for certain situations such as military members or visitors with valid out-of-state carry permits, but overall, open carry of firearms is not allowed in Washington D.C.
