What constitutes the unlawful possession of a firearm in D.C.?

  1. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit

  2. Owning a firearm without a registration certificate

  3. Both A and B

  4. Neither A nor B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Washington D.C., the unlawful possession of a firearm includes both carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and owning a firearm without a registration certificate. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit is illegal as it is important to have the necessary permit to legally carry a concealed firearm in the District of Columbia. Additionally, owning a firearm without a registration certificate is also against the law in D.C. Firearms must be properly registered in order to be possessed legally within the district. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Both A and B.
