Is concealed carry of a firearm allowed in DC?

Yes, without a permit
Yes, with a CCW permit
No, it is prohibited
Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes, with a CCW permit

In Washington D.C., concealed carry of a firearm is allowed with a CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) permit. Option B is the correct choice because individuals who wish to carry a concealed firearm in D.C. must obtain a CCW permit, which involves meeting certain requirements, undergoing background checks, and completing necessary training. This permit allows individuals to legally carry a concealed firearm in the district. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. Concealed carry without a permit is not allowed in D.C. It is important to follow the law and obtain the required permits before carrying a concealed firearm in the district. C. It is not accurate to say that concealed carry is completely prohibited in D.C., as individuals can apply for and obtain a CCW permit to carry a concealed firearm legally. D. The statement regarding only non-residents being allowed to carry concealed firearms in D.C. is not accurate. Both residents and non-residents can apply for and obtain CCW permits to legally carry a concealed firearm.
