[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would happen if any of us wanted to protect our property from the out of control crime in DC?  The DC council and courts would have you strung up, beaten with a stick and thrown in jail. Yet if you are Janet Yellen, your security staff is allowed to throw DC law out the window and shoot at will at criminals doing the same exact thing to her as they do to everyone else who lives in DC.  Such hypocrisy:

[b]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?[/b] [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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 [b]for no reason other than protecting property[/b] 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. [/quote]
