Where is open carry of firearms permitted in DC?

  1. Nowhere, it is strictly prohibited

  2. In certain rural areas

  3. During designated hunting seasons

  4. On private property with permission

The correct answer is: Nowhere, it is strictly prohibited

DC is a highly urban area, so open carry of firearms is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Although rural areas and designated hunting seasons may seem like possible options, they do not apply to DC which is a densely populated city. Open carry may potentially be allowed on private property if the owner gives permission, but this would not be applicable to general public areas within DC.
