When can law abiding citizens in DC own guns and use them to protect themselves and their property, just like how politicians and non elected govt officials in DC are allowed to do?

Janet Yellen isn’t allowed to shoot anyone. Law enforcement is. Not rocket science.

Technically, neither are LEOs. The reason the public is not raising a fuss, though, is because we're tired of the crime and are ready for LEOs to start shooting when someone tries to steal a car. DC is broken.

No you are deranged and just don’t understand that most people don’t want teenagers to die for stealing cars. That has been illegal for a long time. Even for cops.

Those teens were armed...

You can’t run into the street with a loaded gun and then shoot at people. For good reason. You stay indoors and call the cops. Property isn’t worth dying for. Stay inside.

Calling the cops for everything suspicious makes you a Karen.

Yes because there are tons of carjackings!

That is 100% on the Council and Charles Allen.

You can right now. Nobody is stopping you. Not sure why the grand hyperbole and implication that you aren't allowed to own or defend your life if needed in DC.

Homeowner Jason Lewis was protecting both his property/car and himself when he shot at someone running towards him. He was convicted of manslaughter in October although his sentencing has been delayed until January.

"Nobody is stoppinig you" but you will be charged and convicted if you shoot to protect yourself in DC, if you are not a LEO.

WRONG

“Lewis is on video leaving his house, aiming and firing at two young people who were involved in breaking into cars. After Lewis fired at those two people, hitting the car that one was driving, Karon Blake then ran in Lewis’s direction and Lewis fired two shots into Karon’s left side, killing him.”

Rather than proving the point that you are trying (unsuccessfully) to make, the Jason Lewis example is exactly why random untrained civilians shouldn’t be carrying handguns around. Lewis ran outside of his home shooting first for no reason other than protecting property BEFORE the thief charged at him. That’s illegal period. Even for Secret Service.

Secret Service is highly trained and will follow the law regarding use of deadly force. That is why the SS is not being prosecuted for the shooting. The SS agent was assaulted/threatened before opening fire. They were NOT protecting property.

You guys should do some souk searching to find out why you have such blood lust. Defending property is not a moral reason to kill a human being. It’s sick and criminal to do otherwise.

I need to go to jury duty. A group of thugs is a threat in an of itself. Otherwise it would’ve been a solo mission.

You are a violent and likely racist, fool. Normal and good people don’t think it’s a great idea to allow homeowners to run outside and fire shots at groups of teenagers in the middle of a highly populated area. I mean jesus christ wtf.

Nope you are racist. The minute you hear criminal you think they’re a specific race.

Speak for yourself, I’m perfectly fine with teenagers dying for stealing cars. Didn’t used to be that way, but living in DC has pushed me to evolve and change my opinions.

I mean, this is 90% the case in DC.

Personally, I park one car in my driveway and one car on the street. It's possible someone might try to break into either of them while they're parked. And if anyone — law enforcement officer or otherwise — were to open fire at someone for trying to to break into my cars, I would be horrified. I'd hate to have my car stolen, but I absolutely don't want you shooting someone to prevent it from happening. I'll just deal with my insurance company after it's gone missing, thanks.

You deserve to have your cars stolen over and over again, until no one will insure you. That’s what you desperately need.

Because I don’t want someone to be shot for a property crime? Okay, sure.

If someone tries to break into your house when you’re there you have a right to shoot them. Even in dee Districk.

Sure, but I was talking about someone trying to break into my car when it’s parked on the street or in my driveway. I don’t want anyone to be shot for that (nor would it be legal for me to shoot someone for that).
