(Washington) D.C. gun laws could be eased [View all]
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/mike-debonis/post/dc-gun-laws-could-be-eased/2011/12/06/gIQAx8zkZO_blog.htmlIt could soon become easier for District resident to procure firearms. A bill introduced to the D.C. Council today by Phil Mendelson (D-At Large) would ease the District’s toughest-in-the-nation gun laws.
The District would still require would-be gun owners to take a firearms safety course, but under the Mendelson bill they would be allowed to possess a gun temporarily while taking the course. Gun owners would no longer have to take a vision test and would only have to pass on test on the District’s gun laws once, upon initial registration.
