[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Born and raised in DC. Unlike a lot of the posters on here, the transplants. Glad I never came back to the “pit city” after I graduated, Was unable to own a gun legally. Had my dad mugged in broad day light in the alley taking out the trash, my great aunt mugged on Connecticut Ave walking to church, neighbors boyfriend shot house sitting by thieves and he crawled bleeding to her house a lock down. All this in 1988. DC has some very stupid gun hating activists. Live there long enough, you see how stupid. Carl Rowan for example, a “journalist” who decried anyone in dc having a gun and was pro ban, used an illegal handgun to shoot a BCC student pool hopping in Forrest Hill home in 1988, then got busted lying about what happened. Rules for thee but not for me. Glad you are carrying. I’m glad all my remaining family in DC is now strapped. A polite society is an armed society. [/quote]

Agreed.  This is why many natives hate the transplants.  Most of them are midwestern rube types desperate to escape their "small minded" hometowns so they come here and try to boss the rest of us around.They view DC as some kind of progressive utopia and completely avoid admitting the reality of life for most of us who actually grew up in DC. It's very different thing to be an adult at a high paying government job driving into work everyday in your Volvo than it is to be a child trying to navigate a high crime, very dangerous city. I have zero tolerance for transplants who want to hand wring about "stop talking about crime, it isn't that bad!"  It's not bad TO YOU because you probably live in a privileged part of town and can avoid it.  When youre a kid or a vulnerable person, you cannot avoid it. Youre stuck in it.  It's like Mike Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face"[/quote]

Absofrigginlutely THIS. [/quote]
