This is late by several weeks but not a peep from the Main Stream press that citizens are having their rights restored.
The right to "bear" arms is illegal in our nation's capitol thus nullifying the constitutional right. That is until October 22.
In order to simply possess a firearm in your own home (Heller vs. D.C. 2008):
Application$13, Fingerprinting / FBI Background Check $35, Total $48 and In addition to the fees charged by the government, there are private sector fees in this process. Anyone purchasing a firearm outside of the District will need to transfer the firearm through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). At the time of the printing of this guide, the current charge is $125 per firearm. A mandated state approved firearms course not to exceed a fee of $200 was in place but changed to a free state online course in order to exercise the right to "possess". The blind are prohibited from firearm possession it appears as you must declare you are not blind. I can't "see" being blind a lasting prohibition of rights.
Who pays for the salaries, supplies and equipment for LEO/FBI?
And all this when the armed citizen reduces the overall cost of violent crime but some claim an armed citizenry is a liability and threat to public safety. They will always push to make the cost as prohibitive as possible and marginalize the "right" into a for a fee privilege.
D.C. has made unwilling significant strides to restore some semblance of the constitutional rights of the serfs whom serve in that part of our nation. They still fail to comprehend the purpose and intent of the 2A right-both the people and elected officials who swore an oath to support the constitution.
A federal judge issued a 90 day stay in the case of PALMER v DC. A court ruling struck down Washington DC’s complete ban on carry of firearms outside of the home. The stay will be in effect until Oct. 22, 2014.

Shockingly an educated idiot Democrat is concerned of "public safety", perhaps if she actually researched it, it would even shock her even more so....

D.C. Council votes, reluctantly, to allow public to carry concealed weapons:
The D.C. Council voted Tuesday, 23rd September to grant residents and visitors the ability to carry concealed firearms in public, but the bill would establish a regulatory structure that could make it difficult for gun owners to secure a permit.
Shockingly an educated idiot Democrat is concerned of "public safety", perhaps if she actually researched it, it would even shock her even more so....
Council member Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3) said before the vote that she was “deeply disappointed” by the demise of the city’s decades-old ban on carrying guns and said the court ruling, in her view, did “grievous harm to public safety” in the nation’s capital.
