[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally loathe guns and don’t own them.  But increasingly I wonder if the way to get a handle on crime in DC is if more law abiding citizens, taxi drivers, Uber drivers carried pistols with a reasonable DC stand your ground law to protect them if the are mugged, car jacked, etc.  The predators might think twice before preying on others.[/quote]

Same. I’m a 50-something  woman who works erratic hours - so I’m often driving alone at 4 am, midnight etc.  to the hospital. For the first time in my 30 years in DC I’m thoughtfully looking into pistol ownership and shooting ranges.

I’m a lifelong liberal yet I would have no remorse for lethally defending myself against violent bad actors. Like this smart man did:

The offender was known to police for previous car jackings. Where were his parents? Did they even care about him?
