Yeah, I'd say that the District would appear to be on thin legal ice with the ban. I'm surprised that there wasn't a serious challenge years ago. When I lived in Northern Virginia, I often had to go into the nastier parts of Northeast and Southeast D.C., and I have to say I don't think I could have carried enough firepower to make me feel secure, even in the daytime. Crooks and civilians both were already heavily armed and prepared to use their weapons. The ban is basically a joke from a practical standpoint.
