Again, why should someone be arrested solely for carrying a gun without a permit? Or is there some other reason you think he should be arrested for that you're not wanting to share?

---

Yaaaaa....because that guy totally looks like just a citizen who wants to protect himself. Right. Got it.

Absolutely. Why is carrying a pistol without a license a crime?

Its illegal in DC?

I mean he's *probably* a criminal or up to no good, right? Just based on his appearance. That's perfectly fine then I guess.

Then all the January 6th Proud Boys that were arrested in DC on the same charges, those were legitimate arrests then too, right?

I'm sorry if this makes you so uncomfortable that you have to resort to an ad hominem attack.

Good to see someone is consistent on that. Blue star for you.
And I'll go on the record in saying that I was likely in favor of the Proud Boys being charged for violating the gun laws at the time they were charged. But I've come to realize that if you're going to be in favor of right to carry without a permit, you can't be in favor of the Proud Boys being charged at the same time. So I've changed on that.

Why? I think the guy should be charged. But I can see the difference in throwing a rock versus a $5 foot long at an LEO, and that that should factor in the sentencing.

If you believe in law and order, you uphold the current law, even if it is flawed.

I think there should be open carry in every state. But if a state currently requires a license to carry a gun, it has to be enforced.

What laws, and presumably courts/officers of the law are appropriate to ignore in your view?

There are a lot of gun laws I vehemently disagree with, but studiously make sure I comply with them in any case.

---

I don't think they should be ignored. But thinking someone being charged with this is bull**** and also thinking the law should not exist at all are consistent opinions.

---

How do you know they were not felons with prior rap sheets? These dude's do not look like model ciizens...they're most likely drug dealers/bangers. You're just completely guessing that they were only confronted and arrested for carrying a concealed gun.

Also, as someone mentioned, there are a lot of gun laws, many which most of us disagree with. I think I should be able to buy a suppressor and full auto rifle or MP5 at Buc-ees. But I don't buy a full auto firearm off the black market because I know I'll be breaking the law and may end up getting boofed in prison.

So why do you think he should have been arrested?

---

I don't know, I wasn't there. Could be he was pulled over with expired registration or contacted by police for something else. I would say that is the most likely explanation.

I am against the tyrannical gun laws in places like DC and Chicago etc. I don't think this is a second amendment issue AT ALL though.

You think police just saw these guys were concealing handguns and police just knew it somehow?

---

But you're ok with this guy being charged, even though you're against tyrannical gun laws?

---

Dont know anything about the specifics of these arrests, just like you don't. If felons with violent records, absolutely. These guys definitely don't look like my black buddies...they look like guys my black buddies want nothing to do with.

To make sure convicted criminals aren't carrying weapons?
Want to carry isn't the issue, get a license.

Two different charges, stop trying to derail the thread with irrelevant gotchas.

Roughly 300 J6ers were charged with this 111 felony. Several were denied release and incarcerated awaiting trial. Even minor scuffles with police—shoving, grabbing at a riot shield, throwing a water bottle—resulted in years in federal prison. New rules. pic.twitter.com/ab5dItb9px

IANAL
The only law(s) I could find concerning gun permits in D.C. was:
Code of the District of Columbia 224504. Carrying concealed weapons; possession of weapons during commission of crime of violence; penalty.
a) No person shall carry within the District of Columbia either openly or concealed on or about their person, a pistol, without a license issued pursuant to District of Columbia law, or any deadly or dangerous weapon. Whoever violates this section shall be punished as provided in 22-4515, except that:
(1) A person who violates this section by carrying a pistol, without a license issued pursuant to District of Columbia law, or any deadly or dangerous weapon, in a place other than the person's dwelling place, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in 22-3571.01 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both; or
(2) If the violation of this section occurs after a person has been convicted in the District of Columbia of a violation of this section or of a felony, either in the District of Columbia or another jurisdiction, the person shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in 22-3571.01 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both.

Seems pretty extreme. Maybe it would be best to get a permit.

They would need 'cause' to mess with him to begin with (of course), but statistically speaking based on his looks there IS a decent chance he is a criminal. For sure a much greater chance, statistically speaking, than the pink-shirted, sandwich assaulting, sissy Democrat being a criminal. Who knew.

When you dial down into the language of the DC Law. You can be imprisoned for up to a year. So yes. Arrest them and if the law correctly applied results in being arrested, charged, and prosecuted then do so.

It is realllllly stupid to carry a fire arm without a permit and any other paper work as required by law, on the night there is a PRONOUNCED & ADVERTISED surge of law enforcement occurs. They should get an extra penalty for being a dumb arse.

Phony crime stats are being investigated per Trump.

Quote:

---

President Donald Trump pledged Thursday that "phony" Washington crime data would be investigated amid his federal takeover of the local police.
"They are under investigation right now," Trump said from the Oval Office. "They are giving us phony crime stats, just like they gave other stats in the financial world. But they're phony crime stats, and Washington, D.C., is at its worst point, and it will soon be at its best point."

I listened to a mark halperin podcast this am with Joe Scarborough (Yeah yeah, I know…but they both live in DC) and it was hilarious how they both agree Democrats are totally failing to strategize how to respond to Trump taking on crime in DC. Around 20-25 minutes.

I've lived in DC since 2010. It has gone downhill every year since 2014. Reasons why:

1. No prosecution/leniency for juvenile offenders
2. Yearly uptick in vagrancy/homelessness
3. 2020 lockdowns nuked the urban centers
4. MPD has bled officers since BLM
5. Legalized weed
