The ATF is investigating the DC Metro Police Department for their role as a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). A concerning number of firearms transferred by the department were recovered at crime scenes with an unusually short 'time to crime' (average of 20 months), triggering ATF scrutiny under the Demand 2 program. This contrasts with the strict enforcement applied to private FFLs for similar clerical errors.

The DC carry law requiring a 'good cause' for concealed carry licenses has been ruled unconstitutional by the US Court of Appeals in Wren v. DC. Despite this ruling, DC officials have instructed the DC Metro Police Department to continue enforcing the unconstitutional law, with a potential appeal to the US Supreme Court expected.
