Can non-residents carry a concealed firearm in DC with a permit from their home state?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but with restrictions

  3. No

  4. Only if their home state's laws match DC's laws

The correct answer is: No

No, non-residents cannot carry a concealed firearm in DC with a permit from their home state. DC does not honor out-of-state concealed carry permits, and individuals must obtain a separate permit from DC to carry a concealed firearm within the District. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Options A and B are incorrect because non-residents cannot carry a concealed firearm in DC with their out-of-state permit, whether with or without restrictions. Option D is incorrect because even if a non-resident's home state laws match DC's laws, they would still need to obtain a separate permit from DC to legally carry a concealed firearm in the District.
