--- whenever I stay overnight in DC, I always have my firearm with me. No exceptions.

One day I parked at the Reagan Trade Bldg and the car was searched by the Metro or Federal police including popping the trunk and using an electronic sniffer. It was right on top of the bags in the trunk and they never found it.

I've always wondered... What do you suppose would have happened if the feds had found your pistol? -- Is it 'illegal' to drive into DC with a handgun in your trunk?

I am not sure precisely what would have happened, but I am sure that it would have been interesting, to say the least.

I'll ping you if I ever get caught with it. ;-)

Yes. Mandatory jail time of up to 5 years if you don't have a DC or Federal permit.
