This week, under orders from a federal judge, the first concealed carry permits in the District of Columbia in 83 years were given out, and the numbers are underwhelming.
The handful of permits are an effort to appease a federal court order that mandated the nation’s capital strike down its long-standing ban on carrying guns outside the home. That case, Palmer v D.C., was decided last July by U.S. District Court Judge Frederick J. Scullin, who allowed the city until Oct. 22, 2014, before his judgment went into effect. The legislative response to Scullin’s order was a harsh “may-issue” set of regulations that are termed by many to be among the most restrictive concealed carry laws in the nation. |

| No surprise here. They've got a mayor who's publicly stated she 'hates guns' and will 'respect' the Constitution as restrictively as possible..... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
