Lets Members of Congress carry concealed firearms in Washington D.C.

This bill would let Members of Congress carry concealed firearms in Washington D.C. if they have a valid permit from their home state. Currently, D.C. law does not allow this without a specific D.C. license. This change would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.

What Would Change

Today, Members of Congress cannot carry concealed firearms in the District of Columbia without a specific D.C. license, even if they have a permit from their home state. If this bill becomes law, Members of Congress who have a valid concealed carry permit from their home state and meet federal requirements would be allowed to carry concealed firearms in D.C.
