Is Gun Carry Good for the Nation – and its Capital City?
Washington, DC –
Should U.S. citizens be allowed to carry weapons? All fifty states have laws on both the
ownership of guns and the right to carry them. The U.S.
District Court ruled in July that Washington D.C.’s ban on the carrying of all weapons
violated the Second Amendment. To comply with the ruling, the D.C. City Council
is has rewritten thee law to require District residents to demonstrate a need
to carry a concealed weapon.
George Lyon, one
of the litigants whose suit led to the overthrow of the District law, and Paul
Helmke, former President and CEO off the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, will
discuss whether "gun carry" is beneficial to society at a National
Press Club Newsmakers news conference scheduled for Thursday, October 9 at 3
p.m. in the club’s Zenger Room, on the 13th Floor of the National Press
Building, 529 14th St. NW, Washington DC 20045.
Like all
Newsmaker events, this news conference is open to credentialed press and NPC
club members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.
