The House Judiciary Committee easily defeated a proposal Thursday that would have allowed out-of-state residents to bring concealed weapons into the District, an unusual vote in which conservative members put their allegiance to states’ rights ahead of their frequent forays into D.C. affairs.

Only thing is...D.C. isn't a state, therefore "states' rights" do not apply.

"states rights" don't apply anyway... States only have powers...

And DC doesn't issue carry permits so it would have to be excepted anyway from the "CC Reciprocity Act's" plain language.

Would have been nice though, and within the purview of Congress.
