Applications for concealed carry permits are up in D.C.....
D.C. concealed handgun permit applications doubled in November
Background checks for concealed handgun permits in Washington, D.C. doubled last month, according to federal data.
Some 365 residents submitted applications to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System in November. Approximately three quarters of those checks represented licenses to carry, federal data shows.
It’s the second significant spike in permit applications following city council’s Oct. 5 decision to drop its appeal in the ongoing legal battle of Wrenn v. District of Columbia. Two-thirds of the 217 residents who submitted to NICS checks in October also sought permits — the single biggest month for the city in FBI history, until now.
