Police posted flyers near the site of Wednesday's pro-Trump protests that firearms will be prohibited, Newsweek reports.
The sign says the prohibition is in effect Monday, Jan. 4 to Thursday, Jan. 7.
"Members of the public and anyone attending the events are reminded that District law prohibits anyone from carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of any First Amendment activity," Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a press release Sunday. "Under federal law, it is illegal to possess firearms on the U.S. Capitol grounds and on National Park Service areas, such as Freedom Plaza, the Ellipse, and the National Mall."
Bowser continued: "Additionally, members of the public are reminded that the District of Columbia does not have reciprocity with other states' concealed pistol licenses; unless a person has been issued a concealed pistol license by the District of Columbia, they cannot conceal carry a firearm in the city. Finally, it is illegal to open carry firearms in the district."
Supporters of President Donald Trump plan to march in the area Wednesday as a joint session of Congress convenes to certify the Electoral College votes cast in December that gave Democrat Joe Biden the victory.

a no-gun sign posted by democrats
oh yeah, that will work
its worked in nyc, chicago, atlanta, baltimore, philadelphia,...
Remember all those flyers for BLM marchers?
Again - 2 sets of justice in this nation and it won’t hold.
DC Gestapo won’t apply the rule to Demonicrat-supported Antifa/BLM terrorists.
Pretty sure the land where Trump’s supporters are going to be is FEDERAL LAND. DC has NO authority
Everyone please stay 1001 feet away:-)
Any attempts to disarm might prove challenging.
Thanks to Heller she’s gonna have to be very careful...
This event has the libs that run DC really scared.
One objective already accomplished.
“Remember all those flyers for BLM marchers?”
Thank you Republican cowards for doing nothing during those years when you had a congressional majority. Gun rights proponents pull you across the finish line in election after election and the only thanks we get is a bumpstock ban. You couldn’t even sneak reciprocity into the 5000 page COVID relief porkmonster the president just signed.
And what would she say about these guys?
DC is a firearms legal can of worms I just assumed avoid. Tread carefully folks. Even as lawful 2nd supporters we have to follow the local laws. I am not sure about the DC vs Federal land distinction when inside the district. The announcement is misleading by saying the NPS land is prohibited. It is not prohibited, except in visitor centers or builds specifically marked with the no guns signs citing the federal statute. But if the Washington Mall and memorials, for example, are NPS land (I am not sure), I would be careful about assuming its like walking around Yellowstone.
OK, then just change the narrative like they do. It is not a first amendment event, it is a second amendment event... lol
If it is going to start it will be Wednesday.
Bastards are worried.Good.
that’s why they’ve been trying to get rid of guns for decades. They are SCARED. If there was a CW, we know which side will be wiped out..
Stupid politicians. They let criminals out of jail.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON SHOULD DISOBEY
AND OPEN FIRE IF COPS TRY AND ARREST
NO. We DON'T. FUCK EM.
