Federal judge blocks 'good reason' requirement of D.C carry law
A federal judge today ruled that the requirement to show a "good reason" to obtain a carry permit in Washington, D.C. "likely places an unconstitutional burden" on the right to carry firearms for self-defense outside the home, and ordered the District's police department to stop requiring applicants to provide that information, according to theWashington Timesand other publications.
