Where is open carry of firearms allowed in DC?

Nowhere
In public parks
Near schools
In vehicles with a permit

The correct answer is: Nowhere

Open carry of firearms is not allowed in DC public parks, near schools or in vehicles even with a permit. In fact, open carry of firearms is not allowed anywhere in Washington DC. The District of Columbia has strict gun laws and prohibits open carry, with the exception of certain law enforcement officers. This is because DC is considered a “may issue” jurisdiction, meaning that authorities have discretion in granting permits for carrying a gun in public. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
