I read this article this morning and immediately sent it to my girlfriend as a reminder of why I avoid the District* likethe plague (and any other place which doesn't recognize my right to self-preservation). She is very supportive of my carrying and frequently asks "Do you have your gun?" when we are going somewhere. I guess she is so used to it she barely notices anymore. There have been a few "rare" instances when I wasn't armed and she told me she wished I was (if I am going to have even one drink I don't carry).
We have been thinking about going to see the monuments at night or at sunrise and have been told by many friends how "safe" it is...hmmm...gonna have to really re-think that idea!!
*Except 6am-5pm M-F...I work in DC...arrgh!*
