No go on carry in that area unless you can prove recreational reason for possession and you do not stop while passing through.

I have read where people have been cited for "unregistered ammunition" in the DC area. What comes to mind is the guy that got stopped near the WH that came in from out-of-state and drove directly there. I'll see if I can find the cite.

1,000 firearm charges cited - Washington Times

The 1,000 charges included 27 for unregistered guns and 13 for unregistered ammunition, said Tarifah Coaxum, a spokeswoman for D.C. Attorney General Robert Spagnoletti.

Possessing unregistered ammunition always is a misdemeanor.

The proposed House legislation would repeal a total of 10 laws governing gun registration. It also would repeal the law that makes possession of ammunition illegal and the law that requires legal firearms to be stored unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock.

THAT'S why they care!

Some years ago, there was a story of a man who was arrested, charged, and convicted of carrying unregistered ammunition.
