Is it legal to openly carry a firearm in DC?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, with a special permit
No, under any circumstances
Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

In Washington D.C., it is not legal to openly carry a firearm under any circumstances. Washington D.C. has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States, and openly carrying a firearm is prohibited regardless of whether you are a resident or non-resident of the district. Therefore, the correct answer is C: No, under any circumstances. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that there are situations where open carry may be legal in D.C., which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect as it implies that non-residents have different permissions regarding open carry, which is not true in Washington D.C.
