Any person 21 years of age or older who is not a prohibited person and can otherwise legally own a firearm under Federal law may carry a concealed handgun in the District without any District-issued license or permit. The District may not require any license, permit, training, fingerprinting, good cause, suitability determination, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary prerequisite as a condition to carrying a firearm concealed. The District may prohibit concealed carry only in locations where prohibitions are consistent with the Constitution and Federal law, including— secure areas of law enforcement facilities; courthouses and courtrooms; detention facilities; polling places on election day (as narrowly tailored); a school zone, consistent with the terms of 18 U.S.C. 921(a) and 922(q); and any place where possession is prohibited by Federal statute.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit the right of a private property owner to restrict or prohibit firearms on the owner’s property, provided that such owner shall give notice of any such prohibition or restriction by posting a sign at any publicly accessible entrance to the property or by express notice to individuals entering the property. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit the District from issuing a carry credential on an optional basis for residents seeking reciprocity in other jurisdictions, provided that such a credential is not required for any person to carry concealed within the District under this Act.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the District to permit open carry. The District’s laws restricting or prohibiting the open carrying of firearms, to the extent otherwise consistent with the Constitution, shall not be preempted by this Act.
