He used a RIFLE (increasing his kill potential enormously). D. C.'s recently re-enacted HANDGUN ban worked perfectly. |

Past conviction for attempted kidnapping? Wouldn't that be a felony? Wouldn't that preclude him from owning guns? Sounds like there's a whole bunch of FAIL here, starting with the mental midget of a shooter himself. Coward. -Mark ETA - Why coward? Because there's nothing brave about shooting at innocent people in a museum. |

BB He's an active LEO. Granted, that won't help him at a lot of places, but it does let him carry in general. -Mark |

While it has been several years since I was in DC, the only place I remember having metal detectors were the Mint and the Capital bldg. Edit, we did not go to the WH. |

Most of the major facilities there have metal detectors now -- certainly the White House, Capital, National Archives, and most major museums, etc. Obviously none of the outdoor stuff (Arlington, National Mall, Lincoln Monument, etc) have metal detectors 
I am unsure of the legalities of a LEO carrying at Arlington since that is an Army facility DC is one of the few towns in the country where I rarely feel safe. B |

Security Guard (at the entrance to Morpheus' Building) wrote: Please remove any metallic objects you may be carrying: keys, loose change...  HOLY #@$%!!
*Lightheartedness aside, my many sympathies go out to those involved, especially the fallen guard and his brave colleagues. Thanks to them (and their arms and bravery) no futher innocent lives were lost that day. |
