No. Only law enforcement is allowed to have guns in the District.

No, not yet. The DC government has defied the courts on every recent decision. The Feds need to crack down on the leftists that control the city and allow the citizens to own and carry firearms just like we do in Virginia.

In DC the police don't have to wait for you to shoot someone before they take your gun. We find that's smarter than the opposite approach.

I think a lot of women in the District who have to find their way home from work at night wouldn't mind having a couple of Ruger Alaskans handy...just in case.
