The Daily Caller learned from Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump Tuesday that of the 206 concealed carry applications sent for review to MPD, 44 were approved so far. According to the MPD website, the department began accepting applications for concealed carry permits on October 23, 2014.
The DC also asked Mayor Muriel Bowser at a press conference Tuesday if the cost and bureaucracy of applying for a gun permit in the district hinders DC’s poorest from owning a legal firearm for self-defense. |

So their approval rate is just less than one per week? The guy who processes the applications must take six ten-minute coffee breaks per hour. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
