That and the fact that DC NOW has to allow guns. Add in the fact that more states have some sort of "shall issue" law, so more folks are packin'. An armed society is a polite society.......
The last time I was in DC was just before the law went effect that people could own guns for protection.
I was a bit surprised at the number of people that owned well trained Pit Bulls. Beautiful Animals, small compact and as well trained as most service dogs. Dudgeon Square was a bit like being at a dog show, none aggressive ----no way a stranger of Adult size could pat them, but, they had no problem with the little kids that came to give them a hug.
Everyone who had one of these dogs had to have spent thousands on training, I did notice that the Muslims would not go anywhere near a dog or his Master.
Perfect for those with the money to spend on a dog for protection. Now what about the people that can not own guns and resort to getting an untrained dog. Disaster, family, strangers and who knows being bitten and some die.
I was relieved when the OK to own guns for personal protection was passed.
Heck I carried my Teaser to Washington and it was never picked up anywhere including the White house for years. Mom had a pairing knife that got through security, and I am talking post 911.
Once the public is allowed to defend itself with guns, pairing knives or stun guns, the bully's who know body language and can smell A victim 2 blocks away are now challenged in how to over come these pit falls to their desires.
They will, American ingenuity will find a way to get around all this, and we the public will find a way to
out Witt them for a few years--------A battle of the minds, technology and then down home common sense.
Live geese are better then watch dogs. Pet Pigs will protect the family as will having a very large snake in the home.
I have yet to hear of a home invasion of anyone owing a loose 6 foot constrictor. My idea comes from when a family member bought a baby snake and just let it run wild in the home. As it grew the family found that those that wanted to party at their place went from 50 to zero in 3 months.
Family sold the snake when a member became pregnant, they were not fools and soon could afford a security company to watch the house. These people do not believe in Guns and were not too sure the security company could keep them safe. What the heck could they do ??????
Big meeting of family, much discussion on zoning laws, no Geese, no dogs over 25 pounds, so one old lady--not me--came up with a dilley.
No one knew the snake had been sold, so we got together and made a snake out of Jo-ans Fabrics that looked like snake skin. We placed it on a table at a window near the light switch so at night when the lights went out the snake was invisible.
What-What- most home invasions are by people that know what you have and they want. Word of mouth in the hood about a huge snake running wild in a home or apartment is enough to insure more security then some company can give you.
