D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson plans to introduce legislation this week in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the city's handgun ban.

A draft of the bill to be introduced Tuesday still requires firearms in the home to be unloaded, disassembled and trigger-locked, but the bill would add an exemption for "immediate self-defense."

The bill also repeals the city's prohibition on handguns, while requiring a ballistics record for each handgun that is registered. The legislation also calls for a waiting period for registering firearms.

Jason Shedlock, a senior policy analyst for Mendelson, says the bill is meant to be a starting point as the city begins crafting new rules in response to last week's Supreme Court decision.
