All of these people are paid to carry guns in D.C. Virtually all carry a concealed handgun off duty; many commute by metro. You are surrounde by people with guns at all times in D.C., you just do not realize it.

Civilian permits to carry a gun run at most, 1 to 2% of the population and virtually none of them carry all the time (plus I think metro bans civilians carrying even if they are licensed ).

That's weird. If you are so guilt-ridden by the trappings of your new found wealth, why have such ostentatious jewelry at all? Why wear jewelry that you say makes you look like an asshole to the poor folks. I'm sure the unwashed in your old neighborhood are grateful for your solidarity. Personally, I think buying jewelry valued more than anyone's household income is tacky. And I'm not even poor!

NP. By that logic, you would own no jewelry that you yourself purchased, because there are people who are unemployed and thus have a household income of 0. Buying things you can afford is generally not tacky, flaunting said things in certain circumstances definitely can be.

Do you really think the poster was talking about costume jewelry? Clearly she was not talking about jewelry that is not expensive. Spending outrageous amounts of money on showy jewelry is pretty much always low class and nouveau riche.

You sound jealous. And low class because apparently you are unaware that jewelry can be both expensive and tasteful in appropriate settings. I don't blame you since you've probably never met any actual upper class people with good jewelry just the gigantic poor quality tacky jewelry from your low class world. Sorry but class can't be taught, especially not over the internet.

LOL. I can afford anything I like. Spending more on a bauble than the GDP of a developing country is never in good taste. Sorry.

Holy hyperbole, Batman. In the space of a few posts we've gone from the jewelry being worth more than someone's household income to it being worth more than the GDP of a country. Gotta love DCUM threads. PP, give it up -- your posts are illogical and straying further and further from the actual topic.
