US-POLITICS-WEAPONS-WASHINGTON-FILES
(FILES) - File picture taken July 22, 2007 shows an unidentified man holding a Colt .45 semi-automatic pistol in Manassas, Virginia. Washington, DC city council members voted unanimously but reluctantly September 23, 2014 to allow residents and visitors alike to carry concealed weapons in the streets of the US capital. The measure replaces Washington's longstanding ban on carrying firearms in public, which a federal judge in July declared unconstitutional. Under the city's new legislation, gun-owners would still have to apply for a permit to carry a firearm in public, and show police that they have good reason to do so. It would also remain illegal to carry a gun inside schools, hospital, government buildings, public transit, sports venues and anywhere within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of a dignitary under police protection.
