That took 11 days longer than I expected
A legal challenge has been officially filed today that challenges the District’s ban on self-loading pistols and requirement that weapons be stored unloaded or trigger locked.

Next time you hear about the city having trouble coming up with the money for something, you can think of this malarkey.
