Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends DC law to create an exemption from the local prohibition on carrying pistols for Members of Congress who hold valid out-of-state concealed carry licenses or are otherwise permitted to carry in their home state (with federal compliance and ID requirements). This expands the ability to carry firearms in DC for the covered individuals and federally preempts DC's contrary local rule on this point. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
