Does this mean we can pack heat at the rally this weekend?

How long will it take DC to honor my VA conceal/carry permit?

Only if we all do it and that won't happen.

No.

People are blowing this out of proportion.
The ruling only addresses licensing for possession, unlocked, in one's home, in DC.

You can't bring yours to DC.
You can't carry in DC, resident or not.

This sets powerful precident for overturning a great many prohibitions, but those will have to be addressed in court individually. If you were indeed to carry in DC and got caught, you'd have a chance at a successful defense - but you'd be incarcerated first.

BTW:
SCOTUS can avoid the issue (regardless of all the "take it to SCOTUS flagwaving"), as there is no split yet - it only tossed one law applicable only in DC.
The next step is to use this as a logical basis for tossing 922(o) nationwide, and create a SCOTUS-unavoidable split.
