Yes, 15 rounds
No restrictions
Yes, 20 rounds

The correct answer is: Yes, 10 rounds

In Washington D.C., there is a magazine capacity restriction in place for firearms, limiting the capacity to 10 rounds. This is a measure aimed at enhancing public safety by reducing the number of rounds a firearm can hold, thereby potentially decreasing the harm that can be caused in a single instance. It is essential for individuals in Washington D.C. to be aware of and abide by this restriction to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. Options B, D, and C are incorrect: - Option B (Yes, 15 rounds) and Option D (Yes, 20 rounds) are incorrect because the actual magazine capacity restriction in Washington D.C. is limited to 10 rounds. - Option C (No restrictions) is incorrect as Washington D.C. does have restrictions in place regarding magazine capacity for firearms.
