I wrote to my congressman and Senators afterwards to ask for CCW reciprocity in DC. This would be an easy thing to give, well within the powers of Congress.
My congressman responded that he was a co-sponsor of national CCW reciprocity, which would cover all 50 states but not DC. This, I'm not sure Congress has the power to do.
Neither Senator answered.
You did very well. Thank you for sharing your experience. Freerepublic has become one of the best media in the world for discerning reality.
