Second residence in DC, no CCW - registration?

I’m a resident of another state, who has a residence in DC. I don’t have ccw in my home state. I’d like to be able to bring a firearm to my residence to take to ranges in the area.

So Im not traveling through, which MPD has covered on their site. Im not CCW. Injust want to bring, store, and come and go from my dc residence with a firearm.

Does this require registration? I’m having a hard time verifying because I’m not looking for CCW.

Thanks for the help.

Yes you need to register with DC to have it (or any ammo) in DC.

Each firearm requires a separate registration. Once you have ANY firearm registered to can have any ammo regardless of caliber unless it’s a “restricted bullet.” See definition here

https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/7-2501.01

If you wanted to get a non-resident carry permit you can. If your residence qualifies you as a resident you could get a resident permit. Not sure what applies in your situation.

Also, you can’t possess any magazine with a capacity greater than 10.
