DC is one of the worst places for gun laws. If he is going to stay or vist DC with a pistol he wil be breaking the law.
Dont get me wrong DC is a good place to be armed, but the laws suck for legal carry

Agree 110% Was there a few weeks ago and used to be there a few times a month, damn near a second home.
If he is in VA and not DC he will be ok. The airlines have their own regs IAW FAA regarding firearms transportation and they actually have no regard for local laws, thats your problem. I cant see any Firearms section in the USAIR website, like most carriers have. Trust me the ticket counter people will NOT know the laws, they only guess. Anti!
The way I always do it is to put it in a locked box inside baggage, but kinda easy to get to. Go
to the ticket counter and say, "I need to fill out a firearms declaration". They hand you the form to sign, stick it [b]inside[/b] the bag and poof. I never have a problem.
Ammo must be stored seperate [b]in the original manufacturers container[/b].
DC is a place that will make a man have to make serious decisions about being a law obiding citizen or being [s]an unarmed victim[/s] stupid.
