Federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. will no longer file felony charges for carrying rifles or shotguns, regardless of evidence, as of August 19, 2025. This policy shift, announced by US Attorney Janine Piro, is based on Supreme Court rulings in Heller and Bruen, which affirmed Second Amendment protections. While this impacts rifle and shotgun carry, offenses like violent crime, trafficking, and illegal handgun possession remain prosecutable.
