The council has only itself to blame for the rapid increase in gun ownership by law abiding citizens. People are tired of living in fear. That nitwit Nadeau is concerned about murderers being placed in solitary confinement while you can’t leave your home or drive your car without constantly looking over your shoulder.

Has there been a rapid increase? We got ours a while back (lots of hoops, which is fine by us), but didn't realize there was an uptick. Makes sense as you say.

Statistically it’s impossible to measure the deterrence rate of armed citizens. People should be strictly licensed to carry firearms. I guarantee a carjacker or a burglar wants an unarmed target.

You gun nutters think you’re Rambo or something. If a guy is robbing you at gunpoint what exactly is your plan?

I live in Montgomery County and never thought I'd seriously consider owning a gun, but the past year has changed that. It's the Wild West out there and it's my job to defend my family.

Late night home defense. I don’t carry in public. Gun is in finger print safe by the bed. Hear noise, get gun.

I also bought it in case society goes off the rails and government services (including police protection) become unreliable. At that point, I’d carry full time.

If you actually believe this, seek help. Your paranoia is not healthy.

Wait till you shoot and kill someone. You life will be over.

Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

I tend more and more to agree with you.

Yes, look what happened after Sandy.

No police to be found. Homeowners with guns were able to protect their homes and families from looters. Also when police protection breaks down, and it takes cops 30 minutes to come to your home for a burglary or break in, it’s time to get a gun to protect yourself.

I guarantee a burglar does not want to break into a house I nTexas knowing that 1/3 of them carry guns and they can get killed. But breaking into a home in DC is less risky as most legal residents can’t get s gun.

I find D messaging re: guns on DCUM incredibly perplexing. On the one hand, there are the expected anti-gun ownership posts. On the other, there's apparently a never-ending Democratic hype machine suggesting that R's about to start a civil war (e.g., https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1146275.page ), which is about as good an advertisement to buy a gun as the gun manufacturers could conceive.

It’s all good to be for gun control when you feel safe and depend on the govt and police to protect you. In Arlington, Fairfax, Montgomery counties, we expect a certain level of safely.

But when you see endless carjackings, breaking, shootings in YOUR neighborhood and no police response within a reasonable period of time and then the DA letting these criminals off with no jail time, it makes you change your opinion.


I’m protecting myself and my family period. It’s my decision to do what must be done.
