I have a family member who works for the NRA. She tells me that there is a good chance that this will fly under the radar screen, be passed by both houses of Congress and be signed very quietly by Obama.

I am intrigued by the aside in this article to the effect that this applies to the District of Columbia. Does that mean that if I have a Texas conceal-carry permit that I can carry a concealed weapon in D.C.? If that is the case, then it is truly extraordinary; D.C. makes it difficult for its citizens to have a gun in the privacy of their homes. If this bill allows someone from Texas to tote a concealed weapon all over the District, it is a true turn of events.
