This bill mandates that the District of Columbia permit Members of Congress to carry concealed firearms within its jurisdiction, provided they meet specific criteria. It applies to Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners who possess a valid concealed carry license or are otherwise legally entitled to carry a concealed firearm in their state of residence. To qualify, a Member of Congress must not be prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm and must carry a valid photo identification document. The legislation achieves this by amending Section 5 of the Act of July 8, 1932, specifically by adding a new subsection (c) that exempts these qualifying individuals from certain D.C. pistol provisions.
