Casings are common and free or cheap in Arizona...

Somehow, I doubt that D.C. officials will be convicted if someone rats them out for having a few casings in their car, porch or yard.

One wonders about clocks, belts, buckles and ornaments that are made with brass cases.

There has been a case pending in D.C. suing for the ability to carry a gun outside the home. The first judge refused to issue a ruling for two years. Then it was given to another judge. That judge has not yet ruled. It has been another two years.

It would be fun to walk the streets of DC and just drop spent bullet casings on the street - just to watch these losers freak out.

Yes, especially around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Ridiculous - arousing or deserving ridicule : extremely silly or unreasonable : absurd, preposterous. See also Washington D.C

Ridiculous or not DC's blue gestapo will arrest you for it.

My 6 year old wanted to take a spent .45 bullet (not cartridge) that we found after a family session of shooting at the farm. It was in perfect shape with the barrel striations and all. It’s pretty cool. I’ve shown it to friends too.

BUT, I said absolutely not. I could only imagine how that might go over.

Thanks! I know there’s a live .308 round in my truck’s cup holder.

In the 90s this happened to one of my friends, pulled over for a redlight in DC, he had a spent .22 in his cup holder, used it to cut cigars, they arrested him and impounded his car. poor guy had to go to two court cases, one to get his car back, one for the charge. paid a huge fine and impound fees. This is not a new law.

I find spent casings in the bed of my pickup routinely. It would be fun to dump a bucket of .22 shell casings in the bed of a truck and just drive around DC letting them fall out all over town. DC LEO would be inundated with investigations.

My son carries a shell casing from the 21 gun salute my Dad got at his National Cemetery funeral.

Trying to take it away from him would be a BAD idea.

This will be challenged in court.

"Empty shell casings are considered ammunition in Washington, D.C.

Makes sense. They consider an empty suit the President.

Lets outfit the Secret Service with spent casings if they are no different from the ones with powder in ‘em.

If you ever go to D.C. leave your chalk holder at home.

The old FBI building used to have quite a gun range in the basement. Their janitors must have some kind of exemption.

No doubt. Yet another reason why DC is not on my travel list.

I just saw this:
The city council in Washington, DC is considering a bill, cosponsored by a majority of the council, that would decriminalize the possession of marijuana up to an ounce, making it a “civil offense” resulting in a fine, according to the local NBC affiliate. The primary sponsor of the bill, Tommy Wells, says the bill is a matter of “social justice,” and that he’s not concerned with the legal status of marijuana insomuch as he’s concerned about the 6,000 people, predominantly African-American, that are arrested for “using small amounts of marijuana.”

The Hoover Building still does (at least as of 3 years ago), just not open to the public for tours anymore.
