Well, that is due to their police force. You see, people that live in DC don't need guns, becaue the police will protect them. Everyone knows that.ElGato wrote:You know if she had been in DC she might get arrested for having that gun.
There are some "informed" citizens that think we should let the police handle all situations like this. The police are, of course, better suited to protect us and we might end up shooting ourselves!! Or someone else!! 
I have actually had to watch my father stand behind our front door with a pistol at 2 am. We were waiting for the police to arrive and arrest a nut beating on our front door. That 2-3 minutes is a loooong time. My father said later that he felt a chill when he realized that he might have to kill him. He said it was a strange feeling, starting with a chill and ending with a calm resolve. I will always remember that night.
