Judge: No Concealed Carry in D.C. Quite Yet

Ruling tossing ban put on hold for now.

A federal judge on Tuesday put on hold his decision invalidating the District's long-standing ban on carrying handguns in public places.

The judge's stay, in effect for 90 days, gives city officials and D.C. police officers some breathing room to respond to his ruling that overturned the District's primary gun-control law.
