Can an individual carry a firearm into a government building in DC?

Yes, with a permit
Yes, but only law enforcement can
No, it is not allowed
Yes, if unloaded and locked

The correct answer is: No, it is not allowed

No, it is not allowed. In Washington D.C., it is illegal for individuals to carry firearms into government buildings. Option A is incorrect because a permit is not sufficient to allow an individual to carry a firearm into a government building. Option B is incorrect because only law enforcement agents are authorized to carry firearms into government buildings. Option D is incorrect because even if the firearm is unloaded and locked, it is still prohibited to bring it into a government building in DC. Therefore, the only correct option is C, which states that carrying a firearm into a government building in DC is not allowed. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety and security of government buildings and its occupants.
