They may well lose in court but they most certainly can and can be expected to prohibit anyone carrying and arrest anyone they find in possession of an unpermitted firearm in public.
Brian, I hear you. I really do. But I think your well-founded cynicism may just be unwarranted in this case. Again, you may call me a cockeyed optimist, but Emily Miller reports the DC Police Chief is already putting out instructions not to arrest concealed carriers who are registered gun owner residents or non-felon non-residents.

I can actually see DC not appealing this decision, but I can also see them slapping a may-issue concealed carry statute onto the books just as fast as they can copy New Jersey's law.
