Screw the average citizen, but when the elites start getting the street treatment, rules change... Will D.C. court’s decision on concealed guns be the tipping point?By John Lott, 07/27/17 12:40 PM EDT As of July 3, there were just 124 concealed handgun permit holders in Washington, D.C. But, after a two-to-one federal Circuit court decision on Tuesday morning striking down D.C. ’s current concealed handgun law, the district has a chance to become like the 42 states with right-to-carry laws. If it were on par with those states, D.C. would have about 48,000 permits. Right now, poor people in particular have no real hope of being able to get a permit in D.C. Over 16.3 million Americans currently have concealed handgun permits. All fifty states issue permits, but eight of them are very restrictive, like D.C. In the 42 right-to-carry states, an average of 8 percent of adults have permits. thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/civil-rights/344123-will-dc-courts-decision-on-concealed-guns-be-the-tipping
