What is the penalty for carrying a pistol without a license in Washington D.C.?

Fine up to $1,000
Up to 1 year in prison

Carrying a pistol without a license in Washington D.C. is a serious offense that carries both a fine of up to $1,000 and potentially up to 1 year in prison. These penalties are in place to deter individuals from illegally carrying firearms and to ensure public safety. Therefore, the correct answer is both A and B. Option D, community service, is not the penalty specifically designated for carrying a pistol without a license in Washington D.C.
