One little thing..... in one of your earlier posts, you said that you thought that, technically, carry at professional sporting events was legal, even if unlikely because of the wanding. But in your list of prohibited places, #9 is “Stadium or Arena” - which would seem to make professional sporting events off-limits. You indicated that the various LEO offices were helpful in guiding you through filling out the various forms, but did you get a sense that maybe some of them were sort of actually rooting for you? I’m wondering how the average cop in DC personally views the idea of a legally armed citizenry.

Anyway, you’ve been added to the list of people who are “better men than I”.

Charles, I must be missing something. Why would the NRA range be verboten for a DC qualification?

Do renewals require another class in DC?

Yes I do believe renewals require another course but shorter, one of the people in my 16 hour class got released after 4 hours, because I believe he was renewing. The license lasts 2 years which is not long.

Due to a recent Federal court decision, DC is now a "shall issue" jurisdiction for concealed carry licenses for both residents and non-residents. I have a Texas LTC (of course) and a VA Non-Resident. I am going to be in the area for work and vacation in July, so I signed up to take the required 16 hour course and 2 hour range time on a weekend.

Because the company I work for has a no carry policy and the majority of my project locations are Federal and Military buildings, there really aren't very many places where I can carry in DC and VA while working and MD no chance. But I just think it will be cool to get a DC carry license. Then I will carry once or twice on my days off. Freedom (even when restricted) is cool.
