The District of Columbia just became a safer place for tourists as D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has ordered her officers not to make arrests for non-residents those lawfully carrying in the District, as well as District residents carrying registered guns.
Most federally funded buildings will remain off-limits for carry for the foreseeable future though.
Also of note: The silence is deafening from the gun control lobby, even after almost a week. It’s hard to spin this loss into a “win” for them.
Pull this post. The ruling was a week ago Saturday (July 26 2014). Stay for 90 days issued on Tuesday (July 29,2014). Previous laws are all intact.
Laws are intact, but so is Lanier’s directive.

Yes it doesn’t matter what the law is if they choose not to enforce it, ask Obama.
