Is a permit required to carry a concealed firearm in DC?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, a permit is required to carry a concealed firearm in DC. The correct answer is A. In Washington, DC, individuals are required to obtain a Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) in order to carry a concealed firearm. This permit is only issued after meeting certain requirements and completing the necessary application process. Therefore, without a valid CCP, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm in DC. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the laws regarding carrying concealed firearms in Washington, DC.
